What is this 'rythmic gymnastics?' Is like Olympic juggling. I'm captivated though can't look away.

Well, new driver, it isn't boring if you are busy keeping a lookout for:

* stuff falling out of trucks

* "alligators" that have pealed off of truck re-treads

* the SUV beside you that doesn't see you

* the driver coming up fast behind you ..... distracted by texting

* an impaired driver coming at you going the wrong way

* drivers cutting across 2 lanes to catch the exit they almost missed

* two cars coming up behind you ...road racing

* looking for LEOs with radar detectors (if your speeding)

* vehicles coming across the median

* kids throwing stuff off the overpasses

* and then we have your impaired drivers in front of you, weaving all over the highway

So, highway driving can be very "exciting" .......

One highway trip for about 30-45 minutes netted this. Boring and exciting. AP tests can be "exciting" in this horrible way as well.

Reading this makes me feel old lmao. I remember the frantic studying for AP tests very fondly. But that was so long ago now...

Taking the tests is better than taking the class all over again... assuming you've learned your stuff properly

Very likely that I'm going to have to take them again in college. And pay for it. After getting a well above passing grade on the test.
