3 AP exams in 3 days????Answered
So I just looked up the AP exam schedule for this school year, and apparently the 3 AP classes I'm taking (Lit, Psych, Stat) have their exams back to back (one on the 7th, one on the 8th, one on the 9th). I want to take all three exams because I feel fairly confident in how I will do on the exams. What should I do to score good on all 3? Thank you!

First of all, you got this! During junior year, I had three AP exams (comp sci/hug/apush) back to back and I got 5s on all of them.
- GET PLENTY OF SLEEP!!! Although it can be hard to find time to sleep with multiple AP exams, I made myself go to bed at 10 pm so I got at least eight hours of sleep before getting up at 6 am to prepare. It's important to get enough sleep the night before so you don't fall asleep during your exam (like I did on hug lol). I also recommend getting up early so you have plenty of time to spare if something does go wrong i.e. car doesn't start or dog pukes on your carpet.
- TRY TO EAT SOMETHING RELATIVELY HEALTHY - Although you might be too nervous to eat, try to force down some oatmeal or a granola bar. I also had a SMALL cup of hot black tea (coffee gives me cramps) so I wouldn't waste valuable exam time in the bathroom.
- I don't recommend cramming because it makes me feel overwhelmed. Make a study schedule now for exams and only do a quick 30 minute review the night before so you can decompress.
Good luck and may the College Board gods be ever in your favor.

Yay, thank you! I'm not completely new to AP exams (took Lang in May of this year), but this is my first time taking multiple. I will definitely keep your advice in mind!
