Overall the AP exam wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Although,
I ran out of time for the multiple choice and had to guess a couple of
questions, the rest of the questions weren’t that bad. However, I think the
practice tests we took in class were much easier compared to the actual exam.
The passages were more complex and harder to understand compared to the ones we
read in class. Moving on, there was more than enough time for each essay. The
synthesis essay took the most time out of all three essays, I actually went
over the 40-minute mark. Still, I was left with 20 minutes to spare at the end
of the exam.
Even
though we did a lot of prepping in class, I feel as if I could’ve done much
more to prepare for the exam. I should’ve worked more on timing, especially for
the multiple-choice questions. With more time, I could’ve easily finished all
questions whilst feeling confident in my answers. Moreover, I should’ve focused
on studying more vocabulary. I found myself struggling during the multiple-choice
section trying to understand questions and answer choices with advanced vocabulary.
In all, I’m just glad the exam is over, I just hope I did well enough to pass
at least.
