1. Sleep. Just because today you miraculously stayed awake the whole day despite having less than five hours of sleep does not mean you can do it again. Sleepy people are not renowned for their mental acuity, and in times like these, mental acuity is a good thing.
2. Get up and get to school on time. Which means setting your alarm half an hour before you need to get up, and preparing to leave ten minutes before you actually need to leave.
3. Don’t forget your spare calculator batteries.
4. Or your calculator.
5. Or your name.
6. The AP exam is not like the review book, so don’t go snooping around for typos when the answer you get is not among the choices. The College Board is not wrong. YOU ARE WRONG. Go make yourself right.
7. Do not be psyched out by the inevitable questions on the Lagrange error bound, slope fields, or the Mean Value Theorem. You’ve done them before. You can do them again.
8. Bring a sweatshirt lest you freeze to death in York. “Died during AP exam” does not look good to colleges.
9. You will have enough time. Take it.
10. And for god’s (or at least Mr. D’s) sake, RTFQ.
