Students are beginning to start buckling down on their studying as the AP exams approach. Most of the AP exams are at the beginning of May, so they are only a few weeks away.
Junior Morgan Handy hasn’t started yet, but is planning to start studying for her AP Human Geography exam.
“It is important (to study) because if you do well enough, you can get college credit for that class,” said Handy.
This is Handy’s first college credit class she has taken and so far. She isn’t too stressed out because her class has just started to talk about everything they are going to need to know.
“I should study more, I think I’m going to do well, but it never hurts to study more often and frequently,” said Handy.
AP teachers usually tell their students to study anywhere from 2 weeks to a month in advance about the exam. This gives students a chance to go through all of their material and figure out if they are missing any worksheets and gives them plenty of time to study.
Some AP teachers also give students review papers in class and have games that are meant to help students study.
“The sooner we get study guides [the] more beneficial because we would have more time to study everything,” said Handy.

The questions are centered on the material learned in the class throughout the semester. The most recent FRQ pertained to the information learned in the second unit of the book over population and migration.                 The students had the opportunity to take their first FRQs home to work on them overnight.                 “I thought that for the first one it would be good to do a take home assignment to gently get [them] into it. Next we’ll be doing one in class and eventually as a test,” said Gross.                 When grading the tests, Gross looks at the responses the way any AP grader would when looking at them this summer.                 “I look for: Did you answ

These aren’t just ordinary sticky notes, on every single sticky note there is an inspirational quote to start your day.                 During spring break, students that are a part of stand for the silent got together and made a sticky note for every single locker in this school. Mrs. Goodrich is in charge of this club and actually came up with the idea. “We did it to uplift people after coming back from break,” sophomore Cassidy Oberbroeckling said.                 When asking other students what they thought of the idea, they responded with positive feedback. “It was a very good idea and it was cool to walk around and see all of the different messages,” senior Nic Henderson said.                 Doing these creative messages can really help to brighten a student’s day after everyone
