IM self studying, and would like to know how many hours a week I should study on the course to get a 5. Also, any Tips, regarding anything about this course is welcome. Thank you!
Generally, if I’m self-studying, I put between 3 and 7 hours a week into it (depending on whether I already know the material or am learning it). I haven’t done APES, so I can’t give any specific advice, but generally I’d recommend:
[ul]
[] Get an AP prep book: you can buy or borrow one from the library, but being able to see the format of the test and take some practice ones really help.
[] See if there’s an online class: you’re halfway through the semester, but if you could take one for a recap (check edX or coursera), that might also help.
[li] Mimic the test environment: time yourself, no notes, no unscheduled breaks, do it early, etc. All this will make the actual test experience less stressful, especially if this is your first AP test (or standardized test).[/li][/ul]
Good luck, and please don’t hesitate to ask if you have more questions!
