***ap All Nighters***

Okay, so for most of you today and tomorrow will be the last "free" nights to actually cram like crazy before your AP/IB exams. Let's pull up our socks together and get off of CC before it's too late.

Coffee and Red Bull is a must; and a list of classical musics to keep me focused (not in my case since I might orgasm every 5 minutes listening to these gorgeous pieces eg.look at my username). I just went to a store and got enough red bulls for tonight. woot. Self-studying 4 chapters of AP Physics B should be fun- not to mention my horrible physics skills..grr
Plus I have two rahter poorly self-studied Econs on Thursday and it's raping me like never before.

Anyone with me?

first off, cramming is useless and never works for most people. And fmore importantly, AP is not worth cramming over.

People that self study need to do well on all their exams because when you self report your AP exams the colleges see all of them.

If you dont self study then APs are pointless other than for college cred.

Worked for me last year with AP Psych - learned the whole material in just three nights. Ended up with a 4 but then again I BSed really well on FRQ.

I'm studying til the sun rises.

Why would you pull an all-nighter for an AP exam? I would crash and burn during the middle of the exam...

For some people cramming works, for others it doesn't.

For me it does :-D

I have redbull stocked up but I'm drinking water at the moment. I can't sleep if I have to pee lol

And no crash at the end ^_^

What do you mean llpitch? Don't self-report mean just putting down the score on the application and not needing to send in an official transcript from CB? So in this case if you self-study say 3 tests and do well on only 1 of them, you can just put that one only on your application, right?
