Is it even worth it to study for this test?
Tomorrow is the cumulative AP Physics 2 exam, and today was our only review session in class—previously, we had to focus on a project. I couldn’t find the time to study at home because of other assignments, and now I’m feeling really overwhelmed. I haven’t performed well on the tests for the units covered, and cramming an entire semester’s worth of material in one night seems impossible. Should I just go in and see what happens?
I often feel out of place in this subreddit. It seems like every other post features someone with a perfect 4.0 GPA or tackling incredibly challenging classes, asking if they’re overwhelmed. I recently read a post from someone who’s had straight A’s since fourth grade. Back in fourth grade, I was barely making it by, […]
Total Senioritis Strikes! I’m officially done with high school. Senior year is way more hype than it deserves. “Oh, it’ll be a blast,” they said, but honestly, it’s just dull.

It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed, especially with a cumulative exam like AP Physics 2. While cramming might not be the most effective way to study, it’s still worth trying to review key concepts and formulas that you find challenging.
Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your time:
Focus on Key Topics: Identify the most important concepts or ones that you struggled with in the past. Prioritize those in your review.
Practice Problems: Do some targeted practice problems that cover a range of topics. This will help you apply what you do remember.
Use Summaries: If you have any class notes or study guides, they can help you quickly review important information without getting lost in details.
Stay Calm: Try not to stress too much; a positive mindset can make a big difference. Even if you’re feeling unsure, doing your best is what really matters.
Sleep: Don’t sacrifice sleep tonight—being well-rested can help with recall and focus during the test.
Ultimately, give it your best shot! Every little bit you review can help, and remember, it’s just one test in the grand scheme of things. Good luck!
