Operation AP Exams...Suit Up!
By The Screened Scholar
It’s time to take a test! Get ready to open a new tab to copy and paste the questions in Google. This year has allowed students to become copy and paste experts. Students learn from the best. Teachers are also excellent at using copy-paste when making their exams.
But wait. The online AP exams have a lock-down browser. Here are some tips to get ready for your first real test day of the school year:
Brush your hair
As always, the College Board only cares about your money landing in their pocket. So what exactly are you paying for when you wrote your check for the online test? You are paying them to be watched! Make sure you brush your hair beforehand so you can look pretty for your online proctor.
Before the exam begins, you are forced to sign a release form. Don’t be surprised when you see your face on the College Board’s Instagram story.
DO NOT refresh or reload your browser
If you refresh or reload while you take the test, your wi-fi will most definitely crash. Your computer will also never turn on again. Although you already spent all your money on the exam itself, you’ll have to buy a new one. A Chromebook definitely won’t cut it.

3. Cover your ears
This tip is very important. It will definitely help block out the screams of your little sister from her playroom, your mom vacuuming the kitchen, your dad’s snores coming from his nap on the couch, and your dog barking.
Do not bring an eraser
Remember, according to the College Board, mistakes are forever. A 1-5 grading scale is great at representing how you’ve done the entire school year. So halfway through the test, when you can’t go back to the first question, don’t worry about it!
When in doubt, choose C
This tip is foolproof. If you’ve tried thinking of everything in your vast bank of knowledge you’ve learned from focusing and working hard the entire school year, and you still don’t know the answer, always choose C. This will ensure you get a 5! Unfortunately, this doesn’t work for free-response questions. Try typing the lyrics to your favorite song instead!
Remember to cry on exam day like this fello for reduced stress!
