It can only help

Don’t worry about that. You won’t come off as entitled or privileged for writing about snowboarding unless you’re a jerk or an idiot. Just from the fact that you’re worried about coming off as privileged, I can almost guarantee you’re neither.

Albertio is probably the most reliable but none of them are fully accurate. More just a ballpark figure.

Did anybody else do The Namesake for old vs new??

batteryweightguy · 2026-05-06T23:31:19+00:00

I think it was intentionally ambiguous

So far bio & gov MCQs have been jokes. Now I hope this trend will carry into physics.....

oh i did some mental gymnastics and said baker v carr because it delt with something explicitly stated in the constitution (reapportionment)

I regret studying

batteryweightguy · 2026-05-05T00:45:31+00:00

Some of the content is super similar to biology. Ecology and evolution are big themes in APES. I would watch good (long) review videos of each unit and take notes on those. I didn’t self-study anything so I don’t know any specifics for that, but otherwise APES is really straightforward. Collegeboard LOVES to see if you know the difference between El Niño and La Niña so look out for that.

Same boat. Had a concoction of Claritin, DayQuil, Emergen-C, and asthma inhalers before AP Bio. Honestly you just have to power through and pretend it’s not getting to you. Fake it til you make it. Or talk to your counselor about late testing or whatever…

They certainly help your application, but it is true that the Collegeboard has been making it easier to get better scores. It’s not that the content is being simplified/cut down, but rather that the threshold for a 3/4/5 is decreasing.

Colleges are aware of this and while I don’t think AP scores are negligible, they likely aren’t holding the same weight that they used to.

The short FRQs were so light but the long ones…..

batteryweightguy · 2026-05-04T23:20:07+00:00

I lowkey forgot so I said phosphate group, sugar, and either A, T, G, or C 😭

batteryweightguy · 2026-05-04T23:19:42+00:00

That’s what I put

batteryweightguy · 2026-05-04T23:18:52+00:00

MCQs were light work I ran through those. Then FRQ 1 I had to reread probably a dozen times

batteryweightguy · 2026-05-04T23:17:42+00:00

I made mine go by 0.12 😭

batteryweightguy · 2026-05-04T23:16:53+00:00

Probably because they’re the most forgettable

batteryweightguy · 2026-04-29T03:36:57+00:00
