As AP exams near, my stress levels begin to increase. With the number of last minute projects assigned in all of my classes, it's a struggle to continuously study for the AP exam. This year I will be taking my first AP exam and on top of everything else I need to do for school, it has certainly been a struggle. It feels as if there's no possible way for me to study everything I need to, especially in AP World History because there are so many minor details to remember. I'm glad my AP exam is one of the last ones but that just means more time to stress. Here are a couple scenarios which I have gone through during this season of AP exams.
1. When someone says they started studying back in August
When people tell me they started studying back in August I get 10 times more stressed because I just bought the Princeton review book. Whoops, guess I'm eight months behind.
2. When the teacher gives time in class to study, but I still don't do anything.
Whenever I get free time in my classes to study, I try to be productive, but it never works out for me. For some reason, I want to do anything but study.
3. When my friends ask me how much I've studied
When my friends asked me if I've studied, the answer is most likely not enough. Even though I spend my weekends studying for this dreaded exam, there's so much information to cover and not enough time.
4. When you realize there's not enough time to study everything
After doing nothing continuously, you finally realize that it's out of your hands so you just give up entirely.
5. When someone who has been studying forever jokes that they're going to do bad
There are certain people who know they are going to do well on their AP exams so when they joke about doing bad, it's extremely frustrating.
6. When you finally admit how little you've done
BuzzFeed quizzes will be the actual reason why I don't do well on my AP exam. I don't even mean to go on BuzzFeed; it just happens.
7. When someone asks you how studying is going
Odds are that studying is going terribly but I'm just going to say it's going well until I believe it.
To anyone who still has AP Exams to take, good luck! I know I certainly need some this Thursday.
