A message to our test takers, teachers, and donors:
Historically, students taking Advanced Placement courses and exams are among the best, brightest, and most politically aware in the country. In other words, “elitist.” Therefore, we are committed to making AP tests and classes fair and balanced, especially for the poorly educated, whom we love.
We consolidated the 38 AP exams into one shorter, comprehensive test, henceforth to be known as the MAGAP U.S. EXCEPTIONALISM EXAM. Removal of redundancies and renewed focus on what is great about this country, its military parades, and dining opportunities, are significant improvements from previous tests that focused on American failures, complexities, and math.
Students taking the new MAGAP should demonstrate proficiency in the following areas: America, history, capitalization, social media blocking, clever nicknaming, estimation, the Bible, moving in on women like a bitch, MS-13 travel routes, building walls, very bad people, birth certificate verification, tax forms, uranium sales, nuanced diplomatic relations in hotbed regions, the best words, traditional foods of Cinco de Mayo, Nazis, and due process.
The 5-point grading scale has been modified as follows:
5 = huge
4 = big league
3 = great, believe me
2 = weak
1 = loser
Students receiving scores of 3 or above can apply for Congressional internships, but women need to be at least a 7.
The structure of the test largely remains the same:
Section 1 – multiple-choice questions (time allotted: 1 Hannity)
Section 2 – 4 free-response questions (time allotted: 1 Fox and Friends).
Between sections, students get a break of 0.001 Scaramuccis. The attached sample should help familiarize you with the test. Best of luck and NO COLLUSION,
