What You Need to Know About the Exam
The AP Exam may not be till the end of the year, but you need to think about it as if it takes place next week. You can't afford to let yourself slip on studying just because you don't have to take it very soon. The AP Exam means a lot. Passing it could save you lots of money on college tuition. Not to mention the fact that passing the AP U.S. Government and Politics exam as a freshman looks amazing on a college application.
There's no need to worry about the exam. As someone who has already taken it, it's really not as bad as it seems. If you just listen in class, review each night, study for tests, and do everything you can to review again the week before the exam you'll definitely do fine.
During the week before my AP Exam, I stressed myself out way more than I should have. It's not a bad thing to be a little nervous; that could be the incentive you need to study harder than ever before. But, stressing yourself out is not just a bad thing, it's entirely pointless. If you work hard all year and devote much of your time to studying then you'll do great.
