AP World Exam

I thought the exam was about medium. I think the multiple choice went decently, I actually knew what I was talking about, so that's always a plus. Some of the passages and maps were tough. I kicked butt on the DBQ, but unfortunately, by the time we were writing the essays I was yawning and daydreaming about sleeping. Which, naturally, made me more tired. So the COT wasn't too bad, but honestly, by the time I wrote the CC I was pretty much done. I didn't really know what I was talking about but hey, I wrote a thesis and hopefully got a few points for making things up in the correct format. If I was doing it over again (my worst nightmare) I would have started studying much, much earlier. Because when I stated (though it was earlier than the night before, I promise) I started panicking because of all the information in front of me. I used my notes, the textbook, and my blog posts. I probably should have used some videos, because I heard they helped people. I probably would have gone to bed earlier too, the night before, but I ended up lying there. Staring at the ceiling and imagining myself blanking and having a mental breakdown. Thankfully I didn't freak out. Side note: thanks for the food! I had a cookie and an unhealthy amount of pretzels. It cheered me up. :)
