[ap-tips]

college board offers lots of scholarship opportunities for current high school juniors. go check some of them out if you have time!!!

[ap-tips]

according to my psych book, you retain info much better if we self test and rehearse it. so make yourself and your friends those practice quizzes, maybe even make it a game, to review your information to better remember it!

[ap-tips]

my water spilled all over my chem notes for the whole year and i need to rewrite them all now 😤😤

[ap-tips]

so that’s enough with all my ap chem midterms but i would say that making study group is a greta way to study. my whole class (9 people) went to a cafe and studied together and i feel much more prepared. also it was lots of fun. it’s okay to give yourself breaks and have fun while learning!!!

moral of the story: study hard, work together, and don’t be afraid to have fun!!

[ap-tips]

the few things i actually know!!

[ap-tips]

AP chem midterm things i need to review a little bit along with all of the molecular geometry we learned

ignore the first one. i need more help than i thought

[ap-tips]

Here’s my AP chem review of things I really didn’t know. I still am confused by % ionization. I will try to put everything else I review on here.

yellow = equations

orange = constant to memorize

pink = work/examples

[adeity-studies]

here’s just a small list of study tips and tricks that i learned over the course of attempting to take six ap classes all at once (don’t do that to urself pls):

take notes - take all the notes! it doesn’t matter what way you take notes (cornell, etc.) it’s just a really nice way to make sure the material really sticks in your brain

revise said notes - it’s all about beating the curve of forgetting; as long as your keep on revising and re-annotating your notes, you won’t need to super cram on test day. in addition to that, don’t highlight a dense block of text; underline, colour-code, and add notes to the margins. instead, if you just highlight like crazy, you won’t know what to focus on revising. not saying that highlighting is bad, just saying that overhighlighting is bad

actually read the textbook - a lot of teachers assign pages of textbooks but i recommend reading the entirety of the textbooks and working through the examples. sure, it’s a little bit more work, but you end up with a well-rounded view of the topic/subject you’re studying (and i also find that a lot of teachers will skip important topics in the interest of time, so be sure to read the textbook so you don’t miss out)

do all ya homework - so important! do the homework!!!!! you will not succeed if you don’t put in any effort and don’t do any of your work!!!!!!!!!

if you have time do extra problems in your textbook - just for revision/practice!

redo old hw assignments - this helps in revision, esp. in topics like math where you have to physically work out problems to understand concepts; you don’t get math by just reading the textbook, you have to physically DO problems

maybe invest in a review book - it helps some people, but don’t completely rely on it; you still should read the textbook

flashcards are the bomb - they help solidify learning and because of awesome apps like quizLIT (hehe) you can learn/revise on the go

ask questions - the teacher wont bit your head off- they’ll be grateful that at least SOMEONE was paying attention in class

pay attention to the teacher - if your teacher seems to repeat some terms over and over again take that as a hint to revise that, lots of teachers have really effective lectures too and its just a good thing to show respect to others too

make metaphors/analogies for EVERYTHING - for example, think of the declaration of independence as a breakup letter or try to string together events like the revolutionary war together in a narrative style; this helps with memorization of factually-dense topics like the ones in APUSH

study grps are aMAZING - very helpful 10/10 recommend and check out my post on this too

call a friend - don’t be afraid to ask for help. seriously. we all suck at things and its our job to get better

relax once in awhile - you don’t need to study 24/7 to succeed. study smarter, not harder and TREAT YO’ SELF

on the subject of music - listen to music if it helps you, but if you find yourself drifting off or enthusiastically singing to BTS’s new comeback, you gotta stop girl

sleep - don’t pull all-nighters unless you need to; studies show that sleep helps in the consolidation of memories, etc. so get that sleep! that way you’ll be happier and more in the mood to study - its a marathon, not a sprint

find textbook companion sites - very helpful, they usually contain self-quizzes and generally if your teacher uses the chapter tests provided, you can better tell what types of questions will be asked

revise your mistakes - don’t just discard that test with the 94%, make sure you understand what you got wrong so you don’t make the same mistake again

actively hoard your papers - old papers/tests/hw are the best review fodder so don’t loose it!

track your grades - be on top of it always! if you have a missing assignment or if a teacher put in the wrong grade DON’T HESITATE TO EMAIL THEM

find other resources when your teacher sucks at teaching - khanacademy is amazing. enough said

YOUR GRADES DO NOT DETERMINE YOUR SELF WORTH! repeat after me: GRADES DO NOT DETERMINE SELF WORTH!

self-care is important - if your sad tired or angry, YOU WONT GET ANYTHING DONE so do yourself a favor and take a nap or watch a movie, idk

figure out what works for you - i like the pomodoro technique but other people do different things so just do what works

you’re fantastic and you got this

APUSH Tip

don’t focus on dates as much as you focus on the general time line. They most likely won’t ask you a question on the exact day but it is helpful to know what events happen shortly after and before a certain event so you can try to connect them in essays.

[ap-tips]

AP Physics Tip

My biggest tip for physics is to get to know the equation sheet really good. This means knowing what the variables mean as well as the units. Knowing these will help you speed up choosing what equation to use and will also help you for problems where you just plug and chug to double check the variables.
