Advice for May 2nd AP Exam Takers?

The second of May is fast approaching, and yep, I've got an AP exam then. Would love to hear how others are prepping during these final days. Any last-minute study hacks or stress management techniques would be super appreciated.

Hey there! It's completely normal to feel a bit of stress as exam day approaches. One of the most effective last-minute study strategies is to focus on practice exams. Taking timed practice tests will help you get comfortable with the format and timing of the test. Don't try to cram; instead, review key points that you have already covered to reinforce your knowledge.

As for stress management, try some relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation or a quick walk to clear your mind. Ensure you're getting enough sleep, as a well-rested brain functions significantly better. A healthy meal the night before and a quiet morning routine on the day of the exam can also do wonders for your anxiety levels.

Remember, your well-being is more important than any exam score, so be kind to yourself during this time. You've got this!
