Students around campus are taking the AP exams up until the last day of school on May 17, but in some cases, some students are taking two AP exams on the same day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

That’s the case for sophomore Saanvi Patel who is taking AP Spanish 4 and AP Biology on May 16. 

“I am preparing enough for both of my tests on the same day by studying each topic properly and doing all the practices that I find,” Patel said. “But I am afraid of feeling tired before my second test which could potentially affect how I perform.”

Students trying to score a three or above frequently put in hours of studying for just one test, with the workload possibly doubling when two AP exams are on the same day. 

Taking AP World History and AP Computer Science Principles, sophomore Diya Pothuguntla is quite nervous about this because AP World History has a lot to study for MCQ, LEG, SAQ, and a DBQ.

“I do not feel prepared enough to take both exams on the same day one because it’s close to the last day of school and the exams are for the whole year curriculum,” Pothuguntla said. “I  also feel like I would be so mentally exhausted after the First AP exam and that I would be able to do well on my second AP exam.”
