Anyone taking any ? Which ones and how much did you study
AP tests
- Thread starter HotColdRush
- Start date
Lang 2011 -- 5 -- We would take practice essays nearly every day (sometimes we had to do three in a 2 hour block period.) and multiple multiple choice practices. No study outside of class but our teacher prepared us very well.
Bio 2011 -- 4 -- I wasn't the greatest student but I studied this one for a solid amount of time 2 weeks in advance. More difficult than chemistry in my opinion.
Lit 2012 -- 4 -- Teacher prepared us well enough, I had learned enough from the previous year on essay writing to do okay without studying. Just need to remember to know a good book you can reference/write an essay on.
Chem 2012 -- 5 -- I never went to class, my teacher was useless, but I studied pretty hard 3 weeks in advance hoping I could get a grade bump and not fail the course if I did well. Was lucky enough to get a test that seemed easier than previous years, except for a brutal titration problem.
Calc AB 2012 -- 4 -- This was the only AP class I was really interested in during my senior year. Stayed on top of it and studied throughout the year instead of one short burst at the end.
Good luck man.

I took calc, chem, lang, us history, and european history, all 4-5 years ago. I bought the princeton review books for chem and both history ones and studied for maybe an hour a day per course for a week or two.
Chem was ridiculously easy compared to the normal exams we took. Calc went relatively poorly actually.. I remember only being able to answer one of the open ended questions completely accurately. Both history exams were kind of fun; lots of obscure questions that I happened to know, and the essays had been practiced on every exam we took earlier in the year, so they were straightforward. Lang was the hardest for me (my only 4; rest were 5s), two of my essays ended up being very similar :/.
Good luck op. It's AP week now so hopefully you've started studying lol. Also hoping that you're not one of those people like my brother who's taken 12 APs

I got a 4 in Computer Science and a 2 for Bio last year, didn't study at all for either. Kinda wish I did for Bio because it's awful taking it now in college.
