AP Calc BC - 6/10: 24 MC + 3 AP FRQ’s. Not awful but definitely challenging. I barely studied for it, but I only need a 90 or so to keep my A+. Hopefully, I’ll achieve my goal.

APUSH - 3/10: 54 MC in 36 minutes + DBQ in 45 minutes. I didn’t have time to study for it, but it turned out to be really easy for me (got a 98).

Physics - 3/10: It was basically a long test on Newtonian mechanics and the work-energy theorem. This is another that I didn’t have time to study for, but since it was basically just testing how well I could manipulate equations, I did just fine.

AP Latin - 6/10: 12 seen MC (based on passages we’ve read) + 12 unseen MC + 5 short answer questions + an essay. I thought both MC sections and the essay were really easy, but the short answer portion was surprisingly difficult. I should come out with an A, though.

AP Statistics - 2/10: While the test itself was definitely around a 5-6/10 level, our teacher decided to give us an AP-style curve in which a 70% was an A. As a result, I made a 100 pretty easily.

AP Chemistry - 7/10: 5 AP FRQ’s + 50 MC. I breezed through the FRQ’s but had significant trouble under the time constraints finishing the last 20 or so multiple choice. I ended up guessing on 3-4 questions in the end. Because people did so poorly on it (most people bombed a few FRQ’s), she gave us a 5-point curve. Ended up with a 99!

English 11 Honors - 1/10: 50 MC + 1 essay. She had already told us all of the MC in a game we had played earlier, and we were allowed to use our notes on the entire thing. Honestly, it’s a disgrace of an English class, and I’m ashamed that it’s so easy. But I’ll take what I can get, since my five AP’s can make life difficult.

I’m so glad I’m halfway through junior year!
