Once again... the Internet has failed. After writing a fairly long blog, the Internet decided to delete everything once I clicked publish. Here is a shortened version.
It's amazing to think how different AP testing is from ever other test you've ever taken in high school. Not even studying will fully prepare you for an AP test. AP tests are so unlike anything you've ever done that the only way to really prepare yourself is through experience. After taking my first AP (Stats) test, I realized how difficult and how hard I would have to study for the other tests. Taking the tests are very stressful due to the amount of required advanced critical thinking, logic and need to know every little piece of information you learned during your AP class. Even the little, unimportant side notes. Upon finishing my last AP test a sigh of relief overcame me and it felt as if a ten ton weight was lifted off my shoulders. Looking back on previous essays and other assignments, it is amazing to see how much progress I've made. I feel as though I think critically and analyze pieces of information a lot more and effectively now than I used to. Every little thing I do, whether it be writing a synopsis of a character in the Band of Brothers series in WWII history or analyzing a passage in a book, I feel inclined to look deeper and find something extraordinary out of something seen as ordinary. I actually want to find hidden messages and alternate ideas.
I still can't believe I'm about to graduate. The school days seem to become longer and the dates on the calender seem to pass at an increasingly fast rate. It feels good to be finished with AP testing and to know that as the end of the year looms ever closer, you can relax it a little more and enjoy the rest of the high school roller coaster ride.
