What is the best Lichess puzzle category to help people rated 2000ish (bullet) be able to recognize basic tactics quickly. I'm not looking for harder puzzles, just some that will likely show up several times (mostly middle game stuff, it can be as simple as taking a hanging piece, forks, even like one or two move puzzles) so I can grind them and do like a couple hundred in an hour and recognize basic stuff a lot more often.

My bullet performance when I get back from school (3-6 PM) is probably low 2000s and my bullet performance at night (9 PM-1 AM) is probably mid 1900s. That's more than a 50 point difference. I feel like that's pretty big and I would have expected something like 20ish points. How much do your performances vary throughout the day?

Everyone, make sure you don't forget your clothes for your exam because if you show up without any clothes on, you might not be allowed to take the exam.

Also, don't cuss at your proctors because that is kinda rude ig and we don't want to be rude because we are good students.

You got this!

1 day left! What are you all doing to study at this point?

So lately, I have been using the College Board Desmos calculator:

Desmos | Testing

Is this exactly what I should expect on the test? Every feature on this will be on the calculator portions of the test, right?

I personally find it hard to believe that only around 20% of AB students can get a D on the AP exam.

For past students: what were you averaging on practice exams, and what scores did you end up getting?

How much AP Classroom practice tests does your teacher have unlocked for AB? My teacher only has 2, one titled "2018 International Practice Exam AB" and another called "2019 International Practice Exam AB". Is that the same for you all? I find it odd because some of my other classes have 4 practice tests on AP Classroom.

at this point, its pretty clear that the practice test 1 was way harder than the practice test 2 (nearly tenish points harder). however, how hard did you all find the supplemental? i got a 43/55 on pt2 and a 52/55 on the supplemental so it is clearly easier but by how much, and how much of that difference is just studying?
