flexing this here bc I wrote about httyd for the argument essay fully expecting to fail

#I got a 3 on US history but that’s probably bc I didn’t write about httyd for the leq #Idk how this happened my ap lang teacher always scored me like a 2 whenever she graded essays #sure did use my outside knowledge for this exam but my outside knowledge is httyd

[yasmini24]

I PASSED!!!!

#considering my apush teacher didnt even finish the curriculum and i wrote about the flash season 4 on one of my essays #i think i did pretty great #my biggest worry was failing apush because most of my leq evidence was out of the time period by 20 yearsish 😭😭😭 #HOWEVER i walked out of ap lang knowing i got a 4 but hoping for a 5 #BUT IM NOT COMPLAINING!!!! #thousands of college tuition off my shoulders #apush #ap lang

[skhardwarevers1]

#Been waiting till today to pick up with CD cuz yknow. Weekend. I won’t have too much to do #S.K thinks #The LEQ and test are for. Two different classes. Btw. Literally going to cry #LEQ = stupid bullshit essay that I have to write BY HAND IN ONE PERIOD #But tbf when I have tot write one for my exam at the end of the year I’ll have like. 35 minutes— #Woooo AP History !!! /s

[lucyvsky]

writing leqs should not be this long. however , i love writing down every single fact i know so my leqs are all like four pages

#on my third paragraph and fourth page. im so sorry my teacher #sorry i keep talking about the international and national politics of the 1890s its just that you asked the question first #when i wrote my apush leq for the exam it was about the gilded age and i just like. wrote about nikola tesla for like two pages. #peace and love to you ap graders i just love the history of electricity

ap class tips

for those in ap classes who are struggling. also for those who aren't really. whatever.

just as an intro to my qualifications:

i go to a stem high school (will be graduating next sem!) where all the classes are already advanced as is (our ap classes are also taught differently!) i've taken a total of 10 ap classes during my time, and while that isn't as much as others, i'd say i have a pretty good spread of ap classes i took!

general ap class tips

remember that the ultimate goal for you taking this course is to take the exam and get a 4/5 (reach for that 5!). yes, the grade is important, but that score at the end after that exam might save anywhere from $600-$1200+ in college. so focus your energy on that exam once the exams are encroaching!

make friends in your ap classes. trauma bonding is real (/j) so making friends that will help you study or might save you when you accidentally forgot is key.

and while they all say "study a bit every night!" that's hard to do. the rule of thumb here for every class will be in the categorized sections, so don't worry (i gotchu!!)

ap math (calc ab/bc, stat, physics, chem, etc.)

i personally didn't take physics or chem bc i didn't want to, but i did take bc and got a 5 (yes, i'm so proud)!

rule of thumb for studying at home: do your homework everyday and actually take the time to understand what the hell you're doing. understand what the process is behind solving the problem. be able to pull out the variables. practice, practice, practice. also, this is one of those subjects where it's actually worth it to study it at home everyday.

ANOTHER RULE: practice tests. these math exams are about stamina and speed. if you can solve a problem, great! but now here comes 20 more screaming your name. but, if you can get the timing down before your exam, that's even better. so go waste your saturday afternoon at that mock exam if you need to. another saturday will come in time anyway. ask your teacher for mock exams. get that practice workbook. whatever it takes. get the timing in your hand.

just as a quote from my teacher, "life is about choices, and we are all busy people." don't waste your time doing something that'll waste your time. even if you can't remember it, that's okay. just keep moving and score more points somewhere else. and also, do the easy route. only memorize the easy route.

math is about patterns. patterns rule math. extract that pattern out of that problem, memorize it, and you'll be just fine.

FRQS WILL HURT YOUR BRAIN AND THAT'S OKAY! collegeboard has a very specific way it wants you to answer these questions. the best way to learn the format is to do so many frqs your hands hurt. because in any exam that involves math, you genuinely need to do better on the frqs. they'll land you more points. yes, the mcq might get you that 5, but the frqs become the basic 3 or 4 that you need. your teacher will hopefully teach you the format, but if they don't, the collegeboard ap website has all the past frqs they've ever made.

YOU WILL BE OKAY. I PROMISE. make sure that if you cry, you understand your disappointment then move on to a larger action plan.

ap histories/humanities (art history, u.s history, euro, world, etc.)

i've taken all the histories that my school offers (apush, euro, apwh, apah, etc.)

rule of thumb: don't study at home unless there's a test coming up or you're bad at putting stuff in order.

GET YOUR WRITING SKILLS DOWN PAT. this is the thing that'll get you the most points. that mcq section is a killer, but doing 3-6 (looking at you apah exam) right after might just kill you. so please, get your stamina up. just write. just keep writing.

timeline shit for history. because when it comes down to it, knowing the sequence of events and knowing the events themselves are more important than dates or whatever.

if you're worried about coherency in your writing, jot down a small pre-writing list.

memorize every single rubric. luckily, the dbq/leq rubric is the same across apush, apwh, and euro. you'll get away with just memorizing the two. the apah rubric is a little different, and the ap lit rubric is a little different. just memorize them as best you can.

when writing, cater to your reader. make things easy to spot and easy to grade. they'll give you a higher score if they can clearly see where things are.

just practice mcqs. all the stimulus will have something you can pull out of it (unless it's like apah where you're meant to memorize the works). but every question will have an answer that's in the passage. practice finding that answer. (this one is still really hard)

all these tests are tests of stamina. and sometimes, they're on the same goddamn day because collegeboard hates love us. just keep going. grab a snack. rest your eyes, go.

essays are the bane of everyone’s existence in ap courses because you’re on this strict rubric and have this mythical complexity/sophistication point that you need to give your hopes and dreams of achieving. BUT. but. you’ll be okay. especially for exams like the ap lit/apah exam, you get to come in knowing at least a bit of the exam (for ap lit, a good part of the frq weight. for apah, 90% of the test). TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT!! know a novel inside and out. know the works inside and out. you’ll be okay. stretch your hands, breathe, write.

ap sciences (bio, physics, chem, psych, econ)

i've personally taken bio and both econs, but these are all concept based, so the same general tips apply.

rule of thumb: if you don't understand it in class, you need to study it at home asap. seriously. because you sure as hell won’t be able to put it together during class the next day. whats good though is that there’s so many resources online (esp videos!!) for all the ap sciences that it’s actually crazy.

read your textbook. science is great with a textbook in your hand. you don't even need to read the whole thing. just skim through it to add information to your class notes. most times that works.

because the questions are concept based, the mcq/frqs are a little hard to get used to. SO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS: don’t ignore your responsibilities and learn what these questions look like.

flashcards. USE FLASHCARDS. so much of science is not only understanding concepts but applying them. to apply them, you need to know them by heart. and to know them by heart means flashcards to drill yourself.

and speaking of applying your knowledge, you need to take things slowly. approach questions with this framework: 1) read the problem + understand what concept it’s asking about. 2) pull out that information from your sexy brain. 3) solve the problem based on what you can remember. to truly understand, include a lot of examples in your notes. AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHY AND HOW THEY WORK. the why and the how are more important than the what.

misc tips 🌷

burnout is inevitable if you don’t manage your time correctly. there’s people online that can explain how to manage your energy more than me so please go watch them instead lmfao

try your best to stay on your schedule. the more you push your tasks to this arbitrary tomorrow, the more you absolutely won’t do them.

honey, you need to bring a snack and a water bottle to those exams, you get like a 10 minute break that isn’t enough for the mental taxation (without representation) that happens on those exams. they’re brutal.

the classes themselves are not as bad you think. i promise. most of the time, you’ll actually have fun. and it’s really cool to be learning at a college level. so keep at it! the moment you hate something, the moment you begin to stop trying as hard and your grades start slipping. keep finding the next thing to delude yourself into enjoying (/hj).

12 am and the current plan is to finish an LEQ, two APES projects, four FRQs, 26 Med assignments, two precalc assignments, a HIIT workout, and clean my room if I’m feeling up to it.

will it all happen? probably not.

Let’s go I got this ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ

Holy fuck I'm done with AP exams! I can't legally talk about whats on them but I'm going to make a guess on how I did on each section of the APUSH exam and then when July comes around I'll reblog this with how I actually did Multiple choice: ~45 (good) SAQ1- 2 SAQ2-1 or 2 (really bad) SAQ3- 2 or 3 DBQ- 4 or 5 LEQ-4 or 5 If the College Board wants to get on my ass for discussing how I think I did then idk they can go suck an egg

Fellow ap world suffer I see

yeah... i hate ap exam 💥💥💥 but the class itself really isn't that bad for me i love my teacher he teaches lecture style so no heavy work outside of class and he makes it fun and engaging and tells lots of jokes and random stories and stuff that make it easier to pay attention and actually retain information. i'm worried about the actual exam though i'll probably make it out of the multiple choice okay but the writing sections.... i'm such a slow writer and i always want to like rearrange my sentences or change my wording like i've been scoring high on our practice dbqs and leqs and stuff but i'm worried i'll just run out of time on the real thing.

#thinking of apush also stresses me out but i've decided to a-push that out my brain till next year. ahahhahah. eye twitch #ask
