SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the emotional state of students preparing for multiple AP exams, specifically Mechanics, Calculus BC, and Chemistry. The original poster expresses a sense of relaxation rather than panic, attributing this to thorough preparation and familiarity with the material. They reflect on past experiences, noting that excessive stress negatively impacted their performance in Chemistry, while a relaxed approach led to success in Physics. The consensus is that maintaining a calm demeanor can be beneficial for exam performance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of AP exam formats and subjects, specifically AP Physics, AP Calculus, and AP Chemistry.
  • Familiarity with effective study techniques for standardized testing.
  • Knowledge of stress management strategies for academic performance.
  • Experience with sample exams and revision practices.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research effective study techniques for AP exams, focusing on time management and revision strategies.
  • Explore stress management techniques specifically tailored for high-stakes testing environments.
  • Learn about the impact of relaxation techniques on academic performance.
  • Investigate the relationship between preparation styles and exam outcomes in standardized testing.
USEFUL FOR

Students preparing for AP exams, educators providing guidance on exam strategies, and anyone interested in optimizing performance through stress management and effective study habits.

I am giving three AP late testing tests (Mechanics, Calculus BC, Chemistry) in the next two days. Usually, I would be in panic mode at this point of time. However, I am normal, relaxed, just finishing up stuff for the exam in a casual (but thorough manner). I went through a couple of sample exams, and seem to be comfortable with most of the material, but still have some revision left to do.
Is it okay to be so relaxed before the exam?

Good luck man.

For my AP physics exam, I remember watching the movie Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle the night before. I ended up doing extremely well.

For my AP chemistry exam, I remember studying very hard the days leading to the exam, revising everything and practicing heaps of questions, which made me stressed on the day of the exam. Didn't end up doing as great as I did in physics.

I think it is good to be relaxed and not to worry. If you have already been studying, then studying now won't change anything, what matters now is how well you do on the exam itself.
 
Thanks. Last year I wrote AP Physics C: E&M . It went pretty well. I am a bit nervous about Chemistry, but worrying about chem has never done me any good. Thankfully, it's mostly Physical Chemistry, so no memorization of stuff involved. :)
