My AP teacher has been giving us previous AP questions on our tests since the beginning. I feel pretty confident. When I took a practice AP exam, I was predicted to get a 4. (It was the 2008 released exam.)
The bad part is that I have AP Psych right after 0_0

There's almost always an energy FRQ if you look at old FRQs. There's rarely a year without them

I honestly guessed on those in the practice test. In one of them they showed a map of the world and then asked what occurred at each plate boundary. (Specifics—for example, the plate near Antarctica is what kind of boundary? And was there at volcanic activity?) It was just like, ***? I know the different plate boundary, but who memorizes every plate boundary on the planet, and what exactly occurred there?
My AP Psych teacher describes it this way: there will be some questions that you just know; there will be some where you can make a pretty educated guess; and then there are questions that hardly no one gets right. I think that accurately describes almost all of the AP Exams.

I mean, it's like ETS thinks you have all of the time in the world to study for this test. It's seems that they expect you to have no life outside of this one class—that's the only way you could possibly get them all right. Honestly, if you're getting about a 70-80 on the MC, you can easily pull a 5.

Um, PR and Barron's questions are not written by the ETS...
Also, the Antarctic plate boundary can be guessed if you know whether there's a trench or a ridge in that area.

I'm talking about the released exams, not the Barron's/ PR/5 Steps to a 5/etc.

It wasn't just Antarctica, it was plate boundaries at 7 or so places around the world. There was no pictures of the plates or anything, just a map with a points at specific parts.
