Starting on May 5 until May 16, 28, Advanced Placement exams will be taken on the Bluebook testing app administered by the College Board. Students will be evaluated on how well they learned their AP subject, while being able to earn college credit if they score high enough. 

Each test ranges from one hour and a half to three hours and 15 minutes. Despite how long it takes for each subject, every student will have a break halfway through. 

As the time to take the exam approaches, students have started to study for their subject or even some will be studying for multiple subjects. Resources like notes from throughout the year, older tests, and previous AP exams to practice will be helpful when studying. 

Brooke Barton (10) said, “I’m going to go over a unit a day for European History, which will bring me to the mock AP exam on April 19 and then based on the score I’ll get I will see how much more I need to study before the actual exam on May 5.”

Each person has their own way of studying, including their schedules, how early they start, and the resources they use. Most teachers also give mock exams to give students the opportunity to practice what they have learned, and to see where they need to improve. 

Gisele Castro (11) said, “Since the beginning of March, I have studied the notes, Edpuzzles and have gone over tests we’ve done over the year to get ready for the AP Environmental Science test.”

By using available resources like notes and tests, students will be able to study for their exams by May 5. To students who haven’t started studying yet, use as many resources your teacher has to offer to be prepared for your test.
