The Advanced Placement tests are finished but there is still approximately a month of school left. Now what? What will classes be doing now that the tests are done? What are some students’ reactions to the end of their Advanced Placement tests?


Most students are delighted that the tests are over. Now it is time to kick back and relax, or is it? Some classes will watch movies while others continue the work. Other classes will have a combination of both, work and fun. Find out what the most common approach to class after the tests is and some students reactions towards the rest of the year.


The tests that classes have been preparing for all year are over. Allie Johnson, a sophomore says, “I feel like my life can finally begin again.” She thinks it is a pretty good time to kick back and relax since her Advanced Placement United States History class has already learned everything that was planned for the school year. Most students feel pretty much the same as Allie does. Senior Ian Sharp says he “feels fantastic.” He took multiple tests this year while others only took one or two. Kate Kelzenberg, a sophomore from Woodbury High School, says she is “relieved and ecstatic,” that her test is finished. This seems like the most common reaction from students that have completed their Advanced Placement tests.


What about the rest of the school year? Not every class will be watching movies for enjoyment until the end of the school year. Allie Johnson’s Advanced Placement United States History class will be reading current events along with watching documentaries on important historical figures. They will, however, also be watching some movies just for fun such as Pearl Harbor and Forrest Gump. Ian Sharp’s classes will mostly just be watching movies for fun, but as a senior he has earned a lot more relaxation time. Kate Kelzenberg says that in Woodbury they will be watching movies with some historical significance and they will also be working on a group project until the end of their school year.
