Starting this week, students across the country will be spending their last month before graduation taking standardized AP tests for college credit. For many students, the stress that has begun to ensue is insurmountable; there’s a lot of pressure that comes with taking a test for nearly three hours straight.
Most AP tests are divided into two time windows: about one hour and thirty minutes for a multiple choice portion, and about one hour and thirty minutes a free response portion, varying by subject. For students going into an AP test this month, it’s highly recommended that you look at the specific time frames for your test, and practice with the timing in mind! And for students that are not going to take an AP test this year, I highly encourage you to try it next year!
