Yup, today was THE day, and I am absolutely brain-dead. For one thing, I'm super glad that AP Statistics is finally over. At the same time, however, I'm a bit sad that senior year is approaching to an end... and I feel that Statistics should continuously be learned for some reason I don't know. Haha. It's quite a challenging, time-consuming class, but also the most useful math course I've ever taken. From all that we've prepared for, I had complete confidence for the very first time that I'll definitely pass the exam thanks to Ramaswamy's teachings. After-school study sessions were a complete drag, as I tended to burn out at the end of the day, but it was worth it in the long run. Over a month's worth of review in these study sessions (it would last from 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.) has definitely changed my work ethic, and never have I ever worked this hard in my life. Ramaswamy even gave us work on Mother's Day:
"Earnest Note: I am aware that this Sunday is Mother's Day. It is an unfortunate NECESSITY that we work for ~2.5 hours this Sunday. This is the FINAL WEEKEND before the AP Exam. So, have a sense of perspective. This is what we've been preparing for ALL year.
I'm SURE that your mothers shall APPRECIATE that you're studying hard TO MAKE HER PROUD."
That's sooooo Ramaswamy... but stuff like this doesn't bother or annoy me anymore. It became the norm.
How well did I do on the multiple-choice questions? Okay, I guess. They were easier than the ones hand-picked from Ramaswamy. What about the FRQs? Oh, dear. I probably did less than okay, but by following the strategies that he gave us, I managed to get most of the job done, hopefully boosting my score to get that 4 or 5. If I had only studied more on the "AP Stats Bible," as Ramaswamy would say, I would have most likely had done better on the test.
