AP exams are actually way harder than college finals. I failed my APUSH and AP Chemistry exam in high school, but haven’t made less than a 92 on any finals. (I don’t think I filled in the withdraw form either, but I got accepted so… 🤷🏻‍♀️😅)

This lowers a ginormous part of my anxiety, thank you so much I feel so much more comfortable.

I’m here cause I got a 2 on my APUSH exam. I literally couldn’t believe it, my jaw dropped and I cried. I’m a straight A student (i’ve always had an A in APUSH class), I’m ranked #2 out of all the kids in my grade, so why did I fail? I worked so hard, always did my work, came to after school review sessions, and I even studied (I reread all my APUSH notes which literally, like literally took about 7 hrs). It almost seemed unbelievable, like I legit thought it was a mistake cause the score felt so unreal… but it happens. I’m just trying to think now that scores means absolutely nothing, it’s the effort you put along the way. I worked so hard; omg, i don’t even want to talk about the constant chapter outlines we had (doing homework at 3am 😅). This class made me so stressed, but I still worked hard, and now it feels that ALL that work, ALL that stress was for nothing. I’m just trying to forget about it. I wanted to write all this to let people know that even someone like me didn’t pass the exam, so really don’t feel bad. You know what? F ap, it’s just a really hard class with a lot of work, we’ll get it next time.

the only reasons AP kids really want 5s are for our pride, and academic validation.

I was part of the 30% that got a 1 on AP psych in 2021. for me it was bc 2020 was highly traumatic for me especially around the school year (not just because of covid) and because of the trauma i had taken on i couldnt handle the information in the course. It overwhelmed me to know too much about myself and how i work so i did the bare minimum, ultimately failing the exam.

This helped lower some anxiety for my physics 1 exam on Thursday, but honestly, I don't care how well I do anymore, I'm so over it

[feitanportor]

AP exams can't hurt you, they can only either have no effect at all or a good effect :)

[nosirrahonline]

Great video. This was very helpful it makes me feel more comfortable for the APs

[po_lyn_omial]

I checked my ap scores yesterday and cried… I took 3 tests and failed ALL OF THEM (I got 2s on all of them) I cried and I feel so incredibly defeated especially because my other friends got pretty decent scores and passed … I’m so sad and heartbroken bc I thought I would pass all of them… :( for anyone feeling the same just know you’re not alone

I really regret doing AP in the first place, but I have no choice but to do so after college-board cancelled the SAT 2’s, so thank you college board for making a lower than average student miserable.

[sihomoon]

as someone who took the ap test and is in my first choice uni, you're test score at the end of the day isn't a big matter if you passed great u don't pay thousands 🤣 and if u didn't pass admission will usually only see that u actually took the "hard" AP class and consider u a dedicated student regardless :)

[tacobell]

Thank you so much. I have the ap world test tomorrow and I feel a lot better now. Thank you.

[iramsune]

I’m so nervous for ap comp SCI this Wednesday and this video helped lower my stress I’ll keep studying but keep in mind it ain’t that deep thank you

[atrya]

Thank you so much for this, I took the ap seminar exam yesterday and am taking ap world next week and was really concerned about my scores

[dannyblanco]

I really think my school failed us this year and I’m not confident at all, so I’m going to try not to hate myself for a low score 💀

[blair]

lol i got a 1 on the apush test so im glad to know its not too important. what a relief.

[dasilvasurfer]

Just took my ap calc test today and my ap phys on Thursday😬
Calc I was actually confident on the mcq but the frqs killed me

Of course I take ap us history and ap psych the two courses with 30% fail rates. I’m probably the worst student because of my lack of effort, care, and work ethic. It’s hard for me to do well in courses I hate. I took these two courses because I was always interested in social studies and psychology up until this year when everything went downhill. The combination of having a fast paced teacher that spewed information at me faster than I could process it and sitting through numerous uninteresting topics that didn’t make sense to me, is why I now hate both psychology and us history. I am either going to join the fire department while also going to law school to become a lawyer or go the medical route to become a surgeon or anesthesiologist. Hopefully a college will see that I have a lot of potential and not base me off a couple of test scores that I received in high school. Especially when I’m doing 2 years of community college first just to set a foundation for what I’m really interested in. I hate not being at the top of my ap classes, although I’ve never been a straight A student.
