AP testing is approaching, and rapidly. Students and teachers feel the pressure and need to answer any last minute questions and study the areas where more clarification is needed.

To get an idea of what the test will look like and highlights the areas where students could use some more studying, many teachers give their students an AP mock exam. AP mock exams are not your typical one more to one hour and half exam. They last all week for the entirety of the class period.

Due to the timing of AP classes and their correlation with the actual AP tests, the majority of teachers decide to give their students this exam the week before AP testing.  For students who are taking multiple AP classes that means multiple mock exams in one week in addition to their regular classwork and extracurriculars.

This week, students were tested in their ability to study for multiple exams, receiving a grade that they felt good with, not getting behind in other classes, and continue to participate in their extracurriculars. Some may say that this week is more grueling that the actual AP test week because they had multiple subjects to study for instead of just being able to study and focus for the one exam at a time. On top of this, students may have an entire school day of testing as oppose to the possible 3 to 4 hours of testing during the actual exam.

All that can be said after this week is that they got through the rough patch and are onto the last stretch of the race.
