TEST STRESS A In depth look on stress from the AP tests
THE END OF THE YEAR IS A VERY STRESSFUL TIME FOR ALL STUDENTS WITH END OF YEAR TESTS, FINAL PROJECTS, AND WORST OF ALL AP TESTS. ALTHOUGH AP TESTS ARE OPTIONAL, MANY STUDENTS TAKE THEM AND THIS LEADS TO EXTRA STRESS. THIS STRESS COMES FROM BOTH THE STRESS FROM TAKING THE ACTUAL TEST AND THE HUGE INCREASE IN STUDYING THAT COMES BEFORE THE AP TEST. HERE I WILL INTERVIEW 3 PEOPLE, ONE PERSON HAS NEVER TAKEN AN AP TEST BEFORE BUT IS PREPARING TO, ANOTHER HAS TAKEN THEIR FIRST AP TEST, AND THE LAST HAS TAKEN MULTIPLE AP TESTS. THESE 3 INTERVIEWS WILL GIVE US AN IN DEPTH VIEW OF WHAT THE SOURCE OF STRESS IS AND WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO PREPARE AND MITIGATE THIS STRESS. THEY WILL ALSO GIVE US TIPS ON HOW TO HELP WITH THE STRESS YOU MIGHT BE FEELING AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.
