When AP testing rolls around, I go through a phase of complete and utter insanity. I honestly am not myself and get stressed out over every little thing, even the small things I shouldn't even be worried about. I've learned this about myself of the years and have found some ways to mellow myself out.
One thing I do is make sure I get enough sleep. It often seems like staying up until 3 in the morning will help me understand the content more, but it actually turns me into an ineffective blob of human the next day. I study as soon as I come home, so I can finish at a reasonable time and get some sleep.
It's really good for me to take a quick run or go for a short swim to get my mind off of whatever I am doing. Escaping from my responsibilities for even 45 minutes help ,e regain focus. A lot of people told me they sometimes watch a show on Netflix for around a half an hour just to relax, but that's not a good idea for me at. I end up watching an entire season and don't open my backpack.
Another thing I do is start studying really early so I'm not overwhelmed when the first week of May arrives. I usually start before or during spring break and create a plan for how much I need to study each week to be adequately prepared for the tests.
If I need an extra bit of motivation, I contact Meredith Scroggin who also has wise words to share.
