Q: Which AP classes are you currently taking?
A: “I’m in AP Calculus, AP Environmental Science, AP Literature and AP Government.”

Q: How much time do you spend at home doing homework?
A: “I usually spend 15 or 20 minutes, but only if I have a small AP lit assignment. If I have an essay I only spend one to two hours. Other than that, I rarely do homework at home.”

Q: When do you get all of your homework done?
A: “I do have a lot of homework because I am in four AP classes, but I have easier classes earlier in the day, so I do homework then.”

Q: What do you do during your AP classes?
A: “Typically I just listen, sleep or do homework, though in my harder classes like AP Calc I take notes.”

Q: Do you have any tips for future AP slackers?
A: “Focus most of your energy on the classes that are the most tough for you. Most of your homework can be done at school, but spend some time studying at home. The most important thing is to listen in class, that way you can study even less at home.”
