Approach the exam strategically, actively, and confidently. Note that you should not take a full-length practice exam with fewer than 48 hours left before your real exam.

Don\u2019t worry too much about your score or whether you got a specific question right or wrong. Instead, examine your overall performance on the different topics, choose a few of the topics where you struggled the most, and brush up on them one final time.<br \/>\n<div  style='padding-bottom:10px; ' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h3    avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_heading  '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >The Night Before the Exam<\/h3><div class='special-heading-border'><div class='special-heading-inner-border' ><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\nDO NOT STUDY. Get together an \u201cAP Exam Kit\u201d containing the following items:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A few No. 2 pencils (Pencils with slightly dull points fill the ovals better; mechanical pencils are NOT permitted.)<\/li>\n<li>A few pens with black or dark blue ink (for the free-response questions)<\/li>\n<li>Erasers<\/li>\n<li>A watch (as long as it doesn\u2019t have Internet access, have an alarm, or make noise)<\/li>\n<li>Your 6-digit school code (Home-schooled students will be provided with their state\u2019s or country\u2019s home-school code at the time of the exam.)<\/li>\n<li>Photo ID card<\/li>\n<li>Your AP Student Pack<\/li>\n<li>If applicable, your Student Accommodation Letter, which verifies that you have been approved for a testing accommodation such as braille or large-type exams<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Make sure that you don\u2019t bring anything that is not allowed in the exam room. You can find a complete list on the <a title=\"ap human geography college board\" href=\"https:\/\/apstudent.collegeboard.org\/home\">College Board\u2019s website<\/a>. Your school may have additional restrictions, so make sure you get this information from your school\u2019s AP coordinator prior to the exam.<br \/>\nKnow exactly where you\u2019re going, how you\u2019re getting there, and how long it takes to get there. It\u2019s probably a good idea to visit your testing center sometime before the day of your exam so that you know what to expect: what the rooms are like, how the desks are set up, and so on.<br \/>\nRelax the night before the exam. Read a good book, take a hot shower, watch something you\u2019ll enjoy. Get a good night\u2019s sleep. Go to bed early and leave yourself extra time in the morning.<br \/>\n<div  style='padding-bottom:10px; ' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h3    avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_heading  '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >The Morning of the Exam<\/h3><div class='special-heading-border'><div class='special-heading-inner-border' ><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\nFirst, wake up on time. Then:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eat breakfast. Make it something substantial, but nothing too heavy or greasy.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t drink a lot of caffeine, especially if you\u2019re not used to it. Bathroom breaks cut into your time, and too much caffeine is a bad idea.<\/li>\n<li>Dress in layers so that you can adjust to the temperature of the testing room.<\/li>\n<li>Read something. Warm up your brain with a newspaper or a magazine. You shouldn\u2019t let the exam be the first thing you read that day.<\/li>\n<li>Be sure to get there early. Allow yourself extra time for traffic, mass transit delays, and\/or detours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><div  style='padding-bottom:10px; ' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h3    avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_heading  '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >During the Exam<\/h3><div class='special-heading-border'><div class='special-heading-inner-border' ><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\nDon\u2019t be shaken. If you find your confidence slipping, remind yourself how well you\u2019ve prepared. You know the structure of the exam; you know the instructions; you\u2019ve had practice with every question type.<br \/>\nIf something goes really wrong, don\u2019t panic. If you accidentally misgrid your answer page or put the answers in the wrong section, raise your hand and tell the proctor. He or she may be able to arrange for you to regrid your exam after it\u2019s over, when it won\u2019t cost you any time.<br \/>\n<div  style='padding-bottom:10px; ' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h3    avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_sidebar  '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >After the Exam<\/h3><div class='special-heading-border'><div class='special-heading-inner-border' ><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\nYou might walk out of the AP exam thinking that you blew it. This is a normal reaction. Lots of people\u2014even the highest scorers\u2014feel that way. You tend to remember the questions that stumped you, not the ones that you knew. Keep in mind that almost nobody gets everything correct. You can still score a 4 or 5 even if you get some multiple-choice questions incorrect or miss several points on a free-response question.<br \/>\nBe confident in your preparation, and celebrate the fact that the AP exam is soon to be a distant memory!<br \/>\n<div  class='avia-builder-widget-area clearfix  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_heading  avia-builder-el-last '><div id=\"custom_html-109\" class=\"widget_text widget clearfix widget_custom_html\"><div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"text-80\" class=\"widget clearfix widget_text\">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Take a full-length practice exam under timed conditions.
