Hey, all my name is a Libya, and today I'm going to be talking about my test prep advice as far as it goes with A C. T s, A T and A P classes. So whenever I was in high school, I took the S A T one time, I think, but my A C T scores were higher than my s A. T scores. So I decided to focus on my A C t instead. And the way colleges or most colleges or at least NC state does. They take your higher of the two scores and so your S a T score might not be required. They might just take your a C t score if it's the higher one. So that's why I focus more on my a c t. I didn't take a CT prep in high school, which I feel like is helpful, especially if you're not that good at taking tests. Then once it came time to take the a c T. I retook it as many times as I could to try to improve my score. Personally, I don't really go down like the English and literature part of the test, but my science score wasn't as good, so I retook it to try to improve my science score back. Whenever I was taking it, you had to retake the entire test if you wanted to improve just one section. Now I believe that they will let you go back and just take the one section. If you're like struggling with science, you can go back and just retake the science. I really recommend retaking it as much as you can to try to improve your score like it's not gonna hurt your score all. They're just gonna take your highest point from each section and averaged together to get your score. If you guys haven't seen my other videos, I got into the university and I got in like I wasn't wait listed or anything. I really don't think that the test scores are the biggest priority whenever it comes to your application, and I have a video about that, but just to get your best score out of it, I recommend retaking it as much as you can. Then as far as AP classes go, I took like six AP classes in high school, I think, and I think that they could be really beneficial. You'll see across social media, people saying that they don't really help you, but I think that they really can. For one, it shows your college that you're going to the biggest extent that you can while you're in high school and doing the most work that you can and trying to improve yourself the best way you can. If you passed the exam, you can get college credit. So and so you say you saw have really competitive scores like you would have to get like a four, which is, I'm pretty sure AP scores go like 1234 maybe five. I think it's just 1234 though, and you had to get like a four to get credit for the class in C State. So I actually came in with credit for an English cloth which was from my A C T score like I had like a perfect score on my English, so that's how I got credit for my English Closet state, So that's why that could also be really important. I came in with AP credit for calculus, so to get the credit used to have to get like a four in a lot of the classes that state, but they changed it to as long as you pass to get three or above, you will get credit. Not only doesn't look good, but it can save you time in college. So whenever it comes to studying for the AP exam, hopefully your teachers are having you do practice exams. Like my English classes, we would do practice as it is every single Friday. It was a pain in the butt and we hated it so much. It helped us so much whenever it came time for those exams and the same thing with copy. Let's we would do practice exams if it's up to you on your own. I would just recommend getting the AP practice books and working through those the best you can, because if you do score well on these, you can get credit in high school and they don't affect your actual grade of the class. So they're really just an extra benefit for you. If you take them, you get done in May instead of June in high school. After that we used to just hang out in class and watch movies all the time, so I definitely recommend AP classes.
