AP Preparation for May

Students across the country take Advanced Placement (AP) classes for college credits, which gives students more time to concentrate on subjects which interest them.

AP exams are a way for students to apply what they’ve learned. Teachers and students both are preparing for the upcoming tests in May.

“I’m using the Princeton review book to help my study plan go smoothly so I can be prepared,” sophomore Jenna Warlick said.

Teachers are also holding afternoon sessions to prepare students. Here, students are able to learn about the type of questions that are asked and to earn required 12 credit hours for the AP test to be free.  

“The afternoon sessions are helping me write DBQs,” sophomore Earl Alba said. “I almost have my hours and then it’ll be time for the test.”

As students are finishing up their hours, teachers are preparing their students in high hopes they pass.

“Students may convince themselves that they are prepared for college but the AP test gives students a more accurate measure of where they are and where they need to be in order to pass a college level course,” AP world history teacher Paul Ranta said  

The AP test is a great opportunity for students to learn about college level courses and thrive from the information.
