ap class tips

for those in ap classes who are struggling. also for those who aren't really. whatever.

just as an intro to my qualifications:

i go to a stem high school (will be graduating next sem!) where all the classes are already advanced as is (our ap classes are also taught differently!) i've taken a total of 10 ap classes during my time, and while that isn't as much as others, i'd say i have a pretty good spread of ap classes i took!

general ap class tips

remember that the ultimate goal for you taking this course is to take the exam and get a 4/5 (reach for that 5!). yes, the grade is important, but that score at the end after that exam might save anywhere from $600-$1200+ in college. so focus your energy on that exam once the exams are encroaching!

make friends in your ap classes. trauma bonding is real (/j) so making friends that will help you study or might save you when you accidentally forgot is key.

and while they all say "study a bit every night!" that's hard to do. the rule of thumb here for every class will be in the categorized sections, so don't worry (i gotchu!!)

ap math (calc ab/bc, stat, physics, chem, etc.)

i personally didn't take physics or chem bc i didn't want to, but i did take bc and got a 5 (yes, i'm so proud)!

rule of thumb for studying at home: do your homework everyday and actually take the time to understand what the hell you're doing. understand what the process is behind solving the problem. be able to pull out the variables. practice, practice, practice. also, this is one of those subjects where it's actually worth it to study it at home everyday.

ANOTHER RULE: practice tests. these math exams are about stamina and speed. if you can solve a problem, great! but now here comes 20 more screaming your name. but, if you can get the timing down before your exam, that's even better. so go waste your saturday afternoon at that mock exam if you need to. another saturday will come in time anyway. ask your teacher for mock exams. get that practice workbook. whatever it takes. get the timing in your hand.

just as a quote from my teacher, "life is about choices, and we are all busy people." don't waste your time doing something that'll waste your time. even if you can't remember it, that's okay. just keep moving and score more points somewhere else. and also, do the easy route. only memorize the easy route.

math is about patterns. patterns rule math. extract that pattern out of that problem, memorize it, and you'll be just fine.

FRQS WILL HURT YOUR BRAIN AND THAT'S OKAY! collegeboard has a very specific way it wants you to answer these questions. the best way to learn the format is to do so many frqs your hands hurt. because in any exam that involves math, you genuinely need to do better on the frqs. they'll land you more points. yes, the mcq might get you that 5, but the frqs become the basic 3 or 4 that you need. your teacher will hopefully teach you the format, but if they don't, the collegeboard ap website has all the past frqs they've ever made.

YOU WILL BE OKAY. I PROMISE. make sure that if you cry, you understand your disappointment then move on to a larger action plan.

ap histories/humanities (art history, u.s history, euro, world, etc.)

i've taken all the histories that my school offers (apush, euro, apwh, apah, etc.)

rule of thumb: don't study at home unless there's a test coming up or you're bad at putting stuff in order.

GET YOUR WRITING SKILLS DOWN PAT. this is the thing that'll get you the most points. that mcq section is a killer, but doing 3-6 (looking at you apah exam) right after might just kill you. so please, get your stamina up. just write. just keep writing.

timeline shit for history. because when it comes down to it, knowing the sequence of events and knowing the events themselves are more important than dates or whatever.

if you're worried about coherency in your writing, jot down a small pre-writing list.

memorize every single rubric. luckily, the dbq/leq rubric is the same across apush, apwh, and euro. you'll get away with just memorizing the two. the apah rubric is a little different, and the ap lit rubric is a little different. just memorize them as best you can.

when writing, cater to your reader. make things easy to spot and easy to grade. they'll give you a higher score if they can clearly see where things are.

just practice mcqs. all the stimulus will have something you can pull out of it (unless it's like apah where you're meant to memorize the works). but every question will have an answer that's in the passage. practice finding that answer. (this one is still really hard)

all these tests are tests of stamina. and sometimes, they're on the same goddamn day because collegeboard hates love us. just keep going. grab a snack. rest your eyes, go.

essays are the bane of everyone’s existence in ap courses because you’re on this strict rubric and have this mythical complexity/sophistication point that you need to give your hopes and dreams of achieving. BUT. but. you’ll be okay. especially for exams like the ap lit/apah exam, you get to come in knowing at least a bit of the exam (for ap lit, a good part of the frq weight. for apah, 90% of the test). TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT!! know a novel inside and out. know the works inside and out. you’ll be okay. stretch your hands, breathe, write.

ap sciences (bio, physics, chem, psych, econ)

i've personally taken bio and both econs, but these are all concept based, so the same general tips apply.

rule of thumb: if you don't understand it in class, you need to study it at home asap. seriously. because you sure as hell won’t be able to put it together during class the next day. whats good though is that there’s so many resources online (esp videos!!) for all the ap sciences that it’s actually crazy.

read your textbook. science is great with a textbook in your hand. you don't even need to read the whole thing. just skim through it to add information to your class notes. most times that works.

because the questions are concept based, the mcq/frqs are a little hard to get used to. SO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS: don’t ignore your responsibilities and learn what these questions look like.

flashcards. USE FLASHCARDS. so much of science is not only understanding concepts but applying them. to apply them, you need to know them by heart. and to know them by heart means flashcards to drill yourself.

and speaking of applying your knowledge, you need to take things slowly. approach questions with this framework: 1) read the problem + understand what concept it’s asking about. 2) pull out that information from your sexy brain. 3) solve the problem based on what you can remember. to truly understand, include a lot of examples in your notes. AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHY AND HOW THEY WORK. the why and the how are more important than the what.

misc tips 🌷

burnout is inevitable if you don’t manage your time correctly. there’s people online that can explain how to manage your energy more than me so please go watch them instead lmfao

try your best to stay on your schedule. the more you push your tasks to this arbitrary tomorrow, the more you absolutely won’t do them.

honey, you need to bring a snack and a water bottle to those exams, you get like a 10 minute break that isn’t enough for the mental taxation (without representation) that happens on those exams. they’re brutal.

the classes themselves are not as bad you think. i promise. most of the time, you’ll actually have fun. and it’s really cool to be learning at a college level. so keep at it! the moment you hate something, the moment you begin to stop trying as hard and your grades start slipping. keep finding the next thing to delude yourself into enjoying (/hj).

[Kisah Benar] Andartu 👄👅

.

Cik Nora adalah seorang yang cukup periang dan suka berjenaka. Dia seorang andartu, aku kire umur dia dah hampir 35 tahun. Badannya cukup gempal tapi kulitnya putih melepak. Hidungnya mancung, mulutnya kecik dan matnya sedikit kuyu dan selalu nampak stim aje….

Aku dan sebahagian pelajar lain cukup rapat dengan Cik Nora dan kami pada kebiasaannya akan ke kedai buku Cik Nora untuk membantu dia. Pada kebiasaan nya kami akan berbual dan bergurau senda. Pada suatu hari, perbualan kami tertumpu kepada makan aiskrim. Kebetulan pada waktu itu Cik Nora membelanjakan kami aiskrim setelah penat membungkus buku.

Perbualan kami mula berungsur lucah apabila Puan Mona berseloroh mengatakan dia selalu dapat aiskrim yang kecik tak kira malam atau siang. Lalu Cik Nora pun jawab, “kalau nak yang besar carilah ais krim mat saleh”. Kami semua gelak.

Lalu seorang kawan aku, Man menyampuk, “Mat punya aiskrim pun besar jugak” semua pandang kat aku lebih-lebih lagi Cik Nora sambil menjilat aiskrim ditangannya dan berkata “iya ke???”. “Ni pasti puas kalau kena!”, sambungnya lagi. “Mungkin jugak”, kata Puan Mona.

Muka aku merah padam dan untuk menghilangkan rasa malu aku kata “tengok oranglah!! Sapa nak boleh cuba!” aku kata selamba. Dengan cepat Cik Nora menjawab, “Aku nak!!!”, dengan gelak ketawa semua. “Boleh, bila nak?”, aku tanya lagi….namun celoteh kami berhenti di situ apabila seorang pelanggan datang nak jumpa Cik Nora. Dalam fikiran aku, kalau Cik Nora nak betul batang aku, aku sedia bagi sebab aku geram tengok tubuh dia yang montok dan putih itu.

Kalau ada tuah mungkin die masih dare…dan aku teringat bagaimana Puan Mui telah memberi aku kenikmatan yang tidak pernah aku rasakan selama ini. Aku terkejut lamunan apabila Man menepuk bahu aku sambil bertanya “apahal termenung ni??? Ingat mak wa ke?” Aku tak perasan yang batang aku dah mula nak mengeras.

Petang tu sebelum aku balik ke rumah, Cik Nora sempat memanggil aku ke biliknya dan mempelawa aku keluar makan malam dengannya. Itupun jika aku tiada kelas. Aku cakap boleh aje kalau pasaal makan…dan dia janji nak jemput aku pukul 7.45 malam. Sebelum aku keluar aku sempat meninjau kat buah dada dia yang sedikit terdedah manakala dia pula asyik tenung kat batang aku….

Malam itu tepat jam 7.45 malam Cik Nora pun datang menjemput aku di rumah. Aku pakai seluar jean dan kemeja T putih. Cik Nora pula pakai mini skirt hitam dan kemeja T putih. Dia nampak sungguh seksi sekali. Cik Nora tanya aku, “nak ke mana?”, aku jawab “tak kisah ikut aje ke mana-mana” sambil menjeling kat paha dia..”Ke bilik tidur?” Dia berseloroh kat aku…”Boleh jugak!” Kataku…sambil kami gelak…Dia tanya aku lagi,” besok hari minggu. ade kelas tak? Aku jawab tak ada.

“Kalau macam tu kita pergi genting, situ makan sedap”, katanya lagik.. “Boleh jugak!”, kataku. Lepas tu kereta Proton Wira aeroback Cik Nora pun menluncur ke genting highland. Kami sampai kat genting pukul 9 lalu. Kami pergi kat restoren dan makan, lepas tu kami pergi jalan-jalan kat sana sampai pukul 11 lalu.

Cik Nora kata kat aku dia penat dan tak lalu nak drive manakala aku pula tak ada lesen…Pucuk dicita ulam mendatang…dia kata “kalau macam tu elok bermalam kat sini”. “boleh aje” jawabku dengan cepat.

Cik Nora menyuruh aku menunggu di lobby hotel sementara dia membuat tempahan. Sebentar kemudian dia pun datang dan mengeluh panjang, “Cuma satu bilik aje yang tinggal….” aku kata aku tak kisah dan boleh tidur di sofa bilik..

Oklah kalau macam tu, kata cik nora. Sampai di bilik…aku terus masuk ke bilik mandi untuk mandi kerana dah seharian aku tidak mandi….selepas aku selesai, cik nora pun mandi… Aku tengah menonton tv apabila cik nora keluar dari bilik mandi.

Dia cuma berkembankan kain tuala sahaja. Jantung aku dah mula berdegup….Aku lihat cik nora tengah membetulkan kain selimut sambil punggungnya menonggeng jelas ke arah aku. Aku dapat lihat pahanya dan punggungnya yang montel dan putih melepak itu dengan jelas sekali…

Aku tak tahan melihatnya dan terus menuju ke arah cik nora. Aku sentuh tengkoknya dengan lembut dan kemudian aku picit bahunya…Aku lihat cik nora memperlihatkan aksi yang sungguh mengairahkan dan mengeluh perlahan. Dia segera berpaling pada aku dan terus mencium aku dengan rakus sekali. Kami berkucupan dan aku kulum lidah dia habis-habisan.

Aku tengok dia semakin tidak menentu apabila aku semakin garang. Aku jilat tengkoknya dan dia semakin mengerang. Kemudian tanpa aku sedari tuala yang menutupi tubuhnya telah terlerai. Aku peluk badan cik nora dengan kemas sambil menjilat teteknya yang cukup membuatkan aku geram selama ini. Dia mengeluh dan dia memeluk aku dengan erat sekali. Aku rasakan yang dia telah mencapai klimek pertamanya.

Aku segera rebahkan cik nora ke katil dan lidahku mula turun ke seluruh badannya. Aku jilat pusatnya sebelum aku turun ke kawasan semak yang sungguh indah di bawahnya. Aku jilat biji kelintitnya… dan aku lihat dia meraung keenakan.

Please Mat….i need you now!!!!!!! katanya. aku tidak peduli semua itu aku buka seluar aku dan terus berbogel…Aku naik ke atas tubuh cik nora dan menghisap teteknya…batang aku, aku geselkan ke biji kelentit cik nora tanpa masuk kedalamnya…dia terkial-kial kesedapan…dan merayu-rayu agar aku masuk segera kerana dia dah tak tahan lagi katanya. Namun aku biarkan dan tiba-tiba dia memeluk aku dengan kuat sekali dan aku tahu dia dah klimek..

Sekarang aku pun masukkan batang aku ke dalam cipapnya…aku jangkakan pasti cik nora nee dah tak virgin lagi…dan senang nak masuk kerana dia dah basah sangat. Sangkaan aku salah kerana bila aku menusuk batang aku ke dalam cipap nya aku terasa ada sesuatu yang koyak…dan dia meraung kesakitan..dia kata sakit dan aku tanya samada dia masih virgin ke tak…dia kata ya.. this is my first time…katanya…

Aku terus berusaha memasukkan kesemua batang aku namun ianya terasa sangat sempit..Akhirnya aku berjaya tanpa mengira cik nora yang menahan kesakitan. Aku sorong tarik dengan perlahan.. Sebentar kemudian, cik nora yang tadinya kesakitan kini telah mula merasa kesedapannya…Dia mula mengeluh dengan ghairah sekali…”Aduh sedapnya Mat””

Aku semakin kuat dan cepat..semakin cepat aku lakukan, semakin kuat dia mengerang….dan akhirnya dia kata dia nak terpancut dan aku pun melajukan kayuhan aku agar kami sama-sama sampai….Dan akhirnya dia memeluk aku dengan kuat sekali dan aku dah tak tahan lagi dan kami pun sampai klimek bersama-sama…aku lihat cik nora meraung kesedapan.

Setelah aku pancutkan kesemuanya, aku segera mencabut batangku dan memasukkan nya ke dalam mulut cik nora dan dia dengan rakus sekali menjilat batangku sehingga kering….sedap katanya…lama dia menjilat batangku sehingga ianya kembali tegang…dan aku kata kat cik nora aku nak lagi…..

Dia tidak membantah langsung dan aku terus menukar posisi ke 69 dan kami mula jilat menjilat…Aku lihat cik nora sudah tidak dapat bertahan lagi dan aku menyuruhnya agar naik ke badan ku seperti menunggang kuda…dia kata sedap sekali kerana batangku dapat sampai ke G-spotnya. lama kami berada di posisi demikian sehingga dia klimek lagi.

Aku menukar posisi, sekarang aku angkat kedua kaki cik nora ke bahuku dan aku memasukkan batangku dari atas…sungguh sedap sekali…lebih-lebih lagi cik nora kerana batang besarku bermain di celah- celah cipapnya…. Puas dengan cara itu kami menukar ke cara doggie pula.

Aku rasa cara ini sungguh sedap sekali.. tangan ku memulas-mulus tetek cik nora sambil dia meraung kesedapan…dan aku rasakan bahawa dia dah klimek lagi. Aku rasa dah banyak kali dia klimek… aku cabut batang aku dan terus mencapai kondom di dalam poket seluarku….aku geram betul tengok punggung cik nora kerana selama ini aku perasan yang dia selalu menayangkan lenggoknya yang seksi apabila lalu di hadapan ku dan aku rasa inilah masanya aku menikmatinya….

Aku segera mengambil bantal dan menyandarkannya ke bawah cik nora agar punggungnya tetonggek ke atas…aku masuk kan perlahan-lahan batangku ke dalam lubang punggungnya….dan dia merengek kesakitan…aduh sakitlah mat katanya. Aku tidak peduli dan dengan dua tiga kali tusukan aku berjaya masuk juga…lama aku bertahan di dalamnya sebelum berdayung… Kesakitan yang dirasa oleh cik nora tadi kini bertukar lazat dan tidak lama kemudian aku terpancut kerana lubangnya terlalu ketat….

Sekali lagi cik nora menjilat aku sehingga batang aku kering….

Malam tersebut kami langsung tidak dapat tidur kerana terlalu sibuk. Aku rasa kami main lebih dari lima kali….kami tertidur lebih kurang pukul 6 pagi dan aku lihat cik nora sudah tidak berdaya lagi… Kami bangun lebih pukul 11 pagi dan sempat main lagi…

Cik nora becadang untuk bermalam semalam lagi tapi aku kata aku ada ujian pada besok harinya… Kami balik ke KL pukul 10 malam tersebut.

Cik nora ni betul-betul gila kan seks………….Sejak peristiwa itu kami asyik melakukannya tidak kira di mana asalkan ada peluang…..

rezeki dapat main andartu yang dara..!? sapelah yang tak nak kan???hehehe.
