Something
So the AP test is coming. I have taken two already, and I suppose this familiarity has made me a little calmer about the process. But then again, familiarity breeds contempt, and maybe this contempt will lower my potential to do well. If I hold the test itself in contempt, the issue really falls down to me. I can treat it as lesser than me, as something not worth doing, and watch my grade suffer, or I can visualize it as something contemptible for its ease, and blaze through it with a five. I suppose only time will tell. I can recount the tales of my previous AP essays, in order to calm my nerves, or at least feel the triumphant rush of knowing those tests are over and done, regardless of how I did. AP Calculus was wednesday of last week, and was honestly a mixed bag. The free-response questions were actually easier than I thought, with several I felt completely confident about and only a few that I had to take educated guesses on. The multiple choice was a little rough, with several questions focusing on specific concepts I had struggled with. I guess time will tell how I did. AP Bio I destroyed, due to good preparation and a heavily science-oriented brain. I only left one multiple choice question blank, and had to guess on just a few. The essays I felt very strong on, and I hope I did well overall.

JP you should feel good that you can feel so confident in AP testing. For most it is an extremely difficult week and I do not have the self confidence to think of the AP test as below me or not worth my time. I am glad that you feel confident in all your AP exams so far, that too is another luxury that most of us don't have. Basically you are a very lucky person to be able to have such confidence in your test taking abilities.
