The end of the school year is quickly approaching. It can be very stressful as summer approaches with finals and AP exams. Here are a few tips in order to wrap up the school year with some good scores:

  1. Stay up late to help release natural endorphins, which in turn will help you stay more focused during the testing period.  
  2. Drink caffeine to ensure your focus during the test. The more caffeine you drink, the more pumped you will be for the exam.
  3. Showing up late for the test helps show your teaches and peers that you are prepared and electrified for the exam.
  4. Cram everything in a time span of 20 minutes so the information is fresh in your brain.
  5. After testing, just give up. There is no point to remembering the information.
  6. When in doubt of your own skills and abilities, hire an actor to take the tests for you. Then if you get caught, they will act like they are really you and no one will get in trouble.
  7. If you are comfortable with your current grade, just skip the tests, they do not matter.
  8. When in doubt, choose D every time.
  9. Go through all the questions without opening your eyes so you can get a feel for the test, and then open your eyes for the questions that stumped you.
  10. Just ask your friend sitting next to you for help. They are your friend for a reason.
