How should I study for finals?

I’m really scared right now because my grades are really low and borderline. I bit off more than I could chew and I’m feeling so stressed and extremely stupid. I really cannot afford to get any C’s due to my already low GPA (3.7 unweighted) and my fear of disappointing my mom.

AP Chem - 80.48% (tbd)
AP Physics - 80.00% (final is 70questions multiple choice)
AP Calc BC - 82.95% (also multiple choice)
Chinese 4 - 90.09% (multiple choice)
AP Lang - 88.03% (rhetorical analysis essay)

How should I study if I have 10 days until finals? I’m just so stressed and I don’t know how to start. Please don’t tell me to get off the internet because I will already being doing that in a few minutes. Thank you and good luck to anyone who still has finals.

One suggestion is to look at AP exam questions and try to solve them. I know you’re studying for finals, but these tests will help you figure out what you need to study most. (Your Chinese class might not resemble the AP class, but it’s worth a try.) At first, just try to solve the sample questions without worrying about how much time you’re taking.

For calc, I wrote down every type of problem I would be assessed on and how I would solve them in a test. Then I did like 200 practice problems. For lang, I would look at released ap questions and the scoring rubrics to give you an idea for the final.
