AP Tests

It’s odd but I’m not panicking like last year when the A.P. week was arriving. Last year, I went to study sessions after school and on weekends for Chemistry and United States History. The notes and practice tests I had taken was a wonder for me to behold now because this year, there is no sense of fearing these tests. Granted, I am a senior, and one of the reasons I want the exams to come fast is because that would be the end of my math and science class. It would free a couple hours from the cycle, and on D-days, I only have an hour of class. However, there is another reason for me wanting to take the test. I want to know what I learned during the year, and this test is a pretty good standard it. For most classes, doing homework will take you very far in getting a good grade. From what I heard, though, colleges don’t make homework priority. The mid-terms and finals make it. These A.P. tests also allow myself to show my true potential. I study much harder for these then any other test so I can truly say to my self, “I tried my best” and will not be angry with any score I get. Unfortunately, I don’t extend this effort to other tests, and it’s frustrating to know I could have gotten better if I had done a little more. As of now, both tests are finished, and I won’t get the scores back for at least a month when they send them home. I’m not worried about it though. Even if I don’t get a five, I’ll still be satisfied with whatever comes in through the mail.
