Hello all,

I’d like to share this year’s AP prank page with you all. This year’s theme is Kim Jong Un.

**Moderators: In addition to a prank page, the page is also welcoming ANY questions about the AP process. Both admins have taken numerous AP tests and will be offering general advice as well as insights and humor about the AP process.

If you have any general questions about the test, feel free to ask here or on the page!

Info, copied from the description:
AP exams are as boring to grade as they are to take. AP readers aren’t allowed grade any material which is crossed out. Thus grows a grand tradition of unified exam pranking.

This year, our theme will be Kim Jong Un, the cheery North Korean dictator. To carry out the prank, simply insert references to Kim Jong Un, North Korea, dictators, etc. whenever you can fit them into your essays, and then cross them out unless they are actually relevant. For instance, if I were taking AP Euro, I would write, “Kim Jong Un skipped breakfast, so he ate Europe for lunch,” cross it out, and then write, “Napoleon conquered Europe.” If I were taking AP Calculus, I would write, " f’‘(x) is feeling negative because North Korea might nuke it," cross it out, and write, " f’'(x) is negative because f(x) is concave down."
