This will be my first experience with an AP test, and I’m really nervous about whether or not I’ll get the score I want (At least a 4). All I really have to study with are the practice APUSH tests I’m taking in class, whatever sources I can find online, and my pageant book.

Currently, my class is doing rotations of timed practice EOCT Reviews, AP tests, DBQ Essays, and FRQ essays to help prepare us. I took my first mock AP test this morning, and I barely got a 3, I’m taking my timed DBQ tomorrow.

I’m getting a lot of mixed information about the test from both my school and friends who’ve taken it, most of them seem to think that it was easier than they expected. What’s your opinion?

Does anyone have any good practices for studying, helpful online sites, or just general tips on how not to be so nervous? :)
