hot take but APs shouldn't take longer than half a semester to learn

I am one of those kids that learn all of my APs in a couple days while never showing up to class all year. The fact that this isn't that incommon and still leads to 5s proves that this should NOT take 180 days to master. Realistically, each AP can be mastered in 30 days at *most*, and that's for classes like Calc BC or E&M. Social studies APs can realistically last 10 days and you could easily consume enough content to get a 5. Many kids are like me and cram the entire course anyways (look at every comment section of Heimler's history or J Krug). You don't need 8 months of practice prior to it, you just need a couple lengthy sessions of depth in content and problems and you're good to go.

I made the interesting decision of learning all 9 ap chem units in one session from 4pm until 6am before the ap chem exam. I don't want to appear arrogant, but that stuff really doesn't take long, **especially** when 5he formula sheet is provided to you.

AP Lit & Lang tests are deadass just common sense, they don't require a class at all. Same with Gov. All of that could be learned in an hour. AP World or APUSH? Watch the heimler streams the weekend before the test. STEM is harder if your brain isnt in the right mode, as Calc BC and Physics might take longer, but AP Chem is pretty light in content and doesn't take long.

Exam only for the win 🙏🙏
