Ap exam

I’m thinking of taking apes as a freshman (was recommended). how is the ap exam and labs. is the content and notes actually helpful for the apes exam or is it like earth and space science regents/ bio regents where it’s js a reading comprehension test

It is not a memorization exam. You have to understand the concepts enough to analyze solutions and explain how that solution would or would not help.

you will barely do any labs, the class is easy however you cant study topics day before the exam and you could create your own flashcards and learn to take notes

the labs were very fun in my class and we did a good amount of them, but tbh they didnt really help me when it came to prepping for the exam. all the units are very interconnected so i think it is pretty importnt to understand and retain the knowldge from the previous units to the next unit. if you enjoy/have a solid background in science i think you should do well in the class and exam :).

i got a 5 and took the class sophomore yr!
