AP TESTS!!!

Okay I have come to a sudden realization that in two days AP test week will start and I am officially freaking. Why does this come as such a shock to me? Last year all of my AP teachers had had us reviewing for like three weeks by this point and this year I have seriously done very, very little reviewing. I actually haven't quite started studying for the tests yet and I think that is a reason to freak out. Okay so this list goes from most freaked out about to least freaked out about; Chemistry, US History, and last English Language and Composition.

Okay here's the reason I am so freaked out about the chemistry exam; last year only like 55% of people who took the chemistry exam passed with a three or higher. I am pretty sure that this is one of the most failed AP tests that you can take, Physics C might beat chem though. There is a reason why so many people fail the chem exam, it is really freaking hard. I'm pretty sure that everyone who took the practice exam this week feels like they don't know anything and that they are going to fail the test. Chemistry is a really broad science and everything you learn in the class has exceptions. I once heard some one say that the more you learn the more you find out that everything you previously learned was wrong, in reference to chemistry. I find this to be quite true because everything I learned last year was basically wrong and I found out I didn't really learn anything last year.

I'm a tad freaked out about the US test too, but only because it is such a broad subject and there are so many different ways you can take it. I feel like I haven't learned anything this year, I mean seriously I think I learned more about early America from my teacher Mr. Heim in 8th grade and that's saying a lot. My APUSH teacher thinks that she knows how to structure essays that are suitable for DBQ's and she is completely wrong in the way she does them. She says stuff like, "Oh this is how you write a more complex thesis and structure a more complex essay." When in all actuality I wrote the way she is trying to tell us to write in middle school. So I basically write my own way and then she gives me bad scores on practice essay and then I just suck it up because she doesn't know what the hell is up with these essays. So that's basically how I'm feeling about the APUSH exam right about now, basically have given up.

Okay now for AP Lang. I'm least of all worried about this exam because it's just a harder version of a normal L.A. class. It's mostly all stuff I have covered before in other classes with the exception of a couple new things and terms for stuff I have already done. I'll probably just look over my review book next weekend and hope not to forget everything by Tuesday or Wednesday or whenever the test is.
