Sitting in for the Ap test was at first 'unreal'. We had spent months learning and mastering our skills to take this test. I had to remind myself to remain calm and confident. After my own mental pep talk, I went over a simple check list of things to do for this test. In this prospective, the test didn't seem too difficult. By the end of the test, I felt that I had done my best. I was able to answer all of the questions and I had given myself enough time to check/ re-read my essays. I was able to have well thought out responses.
In preparation for this exam, I could have practiced writing the essays more. During the exam I had to make every effort to be unique in my writing and follow the guidelines given to me. I believe that I could have practiced more so that the essay writing could be easy. I believe that the hardest component of the exam was the time restraint, especially for the multiple choice. There should be more time given-at least 10 more minutes- so that a person can have more 'reading time'.
