As the excitement of the upcoming holidays grows, so does the anxiety that comes with final exams. Exemption forms and study guides have been cluttering backpacks for nearly a month, but there’s more to success than just having a study guide. Exam time requires precise scheduling and student involvement, too.
Taking all advanced classes possible, as well as band and other extra curriculars, students such as sophomore Veronica Herrera are already bombarded with end of the year stress, yet limits are still being tested due to the backbreaking projects being assigned to almost all Johnson students.
Most students who plan on taking an AP exam(s) typically purchase a study guide in order to help them review the material they have already learned, and prepare themselves for what may be on the test. However, choosing the right study guide isn't as easy as it sounds, given the number of guides now available to choose from, with each one having its own unique features.
When semester exam time comes around it seems like the studying gets even more intense. You need to make this perfect grade. It can make your or break you. So how you prepare for exams is important.
During the week of April 1st through the 4th, freshmen, sophomore, and juniors will be taking the STAAR EOC exam, while seniors participate in alternative activities during this week.
