| Funny things to do during an AP Test
I know that people do some funny stuff during the AP test, so I decided to post up what I did during the AP Comparative Gov test.
I wrote a letter:
Dear College Board,
While it is nice that you gave us 100 minutes to work on this AP test's free response, I feel that it is too long. Half the people here are asleep and just waiting for the end of the test! Please make sure that next year's AP Comparative Gov's free response is shorter.
While I will not be receiving any credit for this AP test in the major of the college I will be attending in the fall, I am glad to have paid $90 knowing that you guys are trying to make our college lives easier by having us take harder classes in our first year, potentially screwing us over. Thank you for the opportunity.
Well, I should be getting back to my test now. The proctor says I'm supposed to move on to question 8. See ya!
-Your customer for a not-for-profit organization
P.S. If you're a grader, is it true that College Board pays for everything on your trip to Florida? Hit me up with some of that guanxi, man! =)
post up what you guys did (or would've done!) |

| Well, I started by bubbling in some things on an answer sheet. I think I might have signed a thing or two as well, but I can't recall the exact details. After this, I rested for about ten minutes. Then some people said some things and I opened a pink booklet. I don't remember what I did then, but I know I used a pen to do it.
I feel so violated .______. | |

| I am going to ridicule the Church of Scientology if I can for the AP Lang exam.
I have already done this for the SAT essay, and I got 11 on the essay (I guess the ******* who gave me a 5 was a Scientologist). | |

| Did you guys actually write that in your AP booklet? Would they care that you wrote that and affect your grade? I know if your cross it out, then they can't grade it.
I had a lot of extra time (about 30 minutes) after the FRQ in AP US Government and about 15 mins extra after the multiple choice. | |

RChris, it's a facebook group called "everybody write THIS IS SPARTA! on your ap/ib exams" basically just a big practical joke that caught on quick. | |

| well for that letter i didn't specify a number for it and just left the number box blank.
i also wrote in chinese all over the pink booklet. i wrote like "china ftw" and "i like china, do you?" right in the free spaces of the essays regarding china.
dunno, maybe it'll get read, maybe it won't. all i know is that it's a hell of a lot more interesting than reading what governments are all about!

| I also got that message about THIS IS SPARTA on fb but I can't help myself thinking how lame the idea is. Can't we have something more original? XD
I've seen a few people writing an ode to the grader in the past. | |
