With Advanced Placement (AP) exams beginning May 2nd and ending May 13th, majority of the senior class and a good number of juniors and sophomores will be taking at least one AP exam over the two weeks. The requirement of taking the exam is quite controversial, for a more indepth look, click the link at the bottom. Students can tend to wander during the exam, here are some thoughts that may become apparent during testing.

 

1. I can’t believe I spent all weekend studying for this exam.
2. Well, does playing slither.io with a textbook next to me count as studying?
3. I have been reviewing all year, I’ve got this.
4. Okay, time to fill in more bubbles.
5. What would happen if I just got up and left?
6. I can’t believe I’m spending three hours taking a test where the highest score is a five.
7. Okay, finally I can start.
8. Question one here we go.
9. I have a good feeling about this.
10. I have no clue what this answer is.
11. I think it’s okay if I get one wrong.
12. Man I hope this curve is huge.
13. Has the College Board ever thought of not grading an exam and giving everyone a five?
14. I wonder who texted me.
15. Too bad I can’t check.
16. Why can’t I just sleep?
17. How much time has past?
18. Twenty minutes? I better speed up.
19. Why does everyone look so calm?
20. I hope they are as stressed as I am.
21. I really do not know any of this.
22. Maybe common sense can save me.
23. If I cry will I not have to take this?
24. Maybe if I break my pencil I won’t have to finish this.
25. Can we, as a whole, just refuse this test? That sounds like an idea I can get behind.
26. I hope I fill the correct bubbles in.
27. And that they’re dark enough.
28. Time to use my guess letter.
29. How are you done already?
30. I hope colleges accept credit for a score of one.
31. On the bright side, I’m almost done.
32. Soon I’ll be out of this room and forget everything I learned.
33. Why does it take so long to grade these?
34. If this was on a computer, it could be more instant.
35. Maybe colleges will still accept me after this score comes out.
36. I can’t believe that I’m done.
37. We are the champions, my friends.

 

Good luck to everyone taking exams!
