AP Testing 2016: Stressed students, mixed responses
May 13, 2016
“I felt that the majority of the classes prepared me well for the test,” said Jack Barbour ‘16.
“It was alright. I just really need the scores because I am going to (the) University of Sydney in Australia, and they combine AP test scores with SAT scores so hopefully I’ll get a good score,” said Emma Dougherty ‘16.
“I’m stressed but I’m already into college so they seem less stressful this year,” said Becky Ford ‘16.
“They gave us food, so that was pretty cool, but the test was kinda hard so that was a bummer,” said Sam Poisson ‘17.
“I haven’t prepared for a test as much as I have for this one; it was harder than I thought it would be”, said Miranda Moscatelli ‘17.
“I’m nervous and haven’t really prepared for it yet; this is the biggest test I have ever been prepared to take,” said Megan Shoults ‘17.
