They are quite similar to death! I also started with the APs as a sophomore and felt much the same way. Nonetheless, after taking so many this year, they've become more like finals for my classes than death. What test did you have?

And thanks for the luck Emma! I'm all done with the stupid tests (giving my brain a little time to relax!), but I have until July 15 to know the results - I'll be anxious until then.

Lets hope it goes well for you, I am sure you will be fine!

Well good luck!

But well yeah, I don't get why it is so hard? Is it the studying, or just the tests - or what?

Sorry, but we don't have that kinda stuff here in Denmark. So I am just interested.

I took the World History test. History isn't exactly my forte, so studying for it was really difficult. I'm hoping they'll be different when I take more next year.

The AP program is known to be hard, but some people really manipulate the tests and pass it off as "easy." Nonetheless, it's really difficult because it includes so much information - it's like a semester final in college, I believe.

Stanley: what'd you think of the World History exam? I found the free response questions to be incredibly easy for some reason, while the multiple choice rather confused me at times.

So its like doing a whole semester for a much shorter time? Then I can truly understand how hard it must be! Glad it is not me now.

I also found the free response questions easier to work with than the multiple choice. I feel as though two of my essays might be solid enough; however, my DBQ was weak. The multiple choice was tricky, and I found them quite difficult. The prompters did not give us any type of time warning, and I ended up not finishing 5 questions. I'm scared because of this I won't pass the exam, but several of my friends did not finish as well.

Hopefully, it will be enough. I'll find out in July.
