During the time before my Ap exams I was in a time of stress and anxiety. I have never taken two big tests that take hours to complete. The AP test, tests your absolute knowledge of the subject material you have been practicing in a year. I was unprepared to take my AP tests the following days to come. I had feelings of doubt and at some point I believed I would not pass my test. My mom knowing how much I have been studying and was concerned about my stress. She overheard me talking to my sister telling her that I did not think I would do well. My mom pulled me aside and gave me the most refreshing piece of advice. She told me to do my absolute best, even if I did not pass the exam I would be trying the best that I could. In the end of the day if I did not pass she said that my score is what it is. This impacted me by helping me overcome my stress and to go into the test with an open mind. Although my mom did not give me the most elaborate advice, it still helped me to remind myself that I could do what I can only do which is trying my best and accepting my score. I took my test and I passed taking what my mom said into consideration because before her advice I had a really negative attitude before taking the tests.
