<p>This is my schedule for AP studying during spring break. Any advice/changes? What do you all think? Thanks!</p>
<p>AP Physics C: 7am-10am (read PR, do practice problems/tests)
AP Biology: 10am-1pm (read Cliff's Notes, Barron's, do practice tests)
AP Spanish: 2pm-4pm (watch TV, practice grammar/vocab., do practice questions, practice oral parts)
APUSH: 4pm-7pm (read AMSCO, PR, do practice essays)
AP Comp: 7pm-10pm (do practice essays, read through Cliff's Notes, memorize terms)</p>
<p>wow..im sure you'll be really tired ...</p>
<p>Good luck getting yourself to focus for 7-8 hrs at a time without a break.</p>
<p>lol i want all 5's</p>
<p>AP Lang is so impossible. No matter how many practice tests you do the grade always stays the same.</p>
<p>I really want the AP scholar with Honors award, i have taken all of the following, World history(5), Human Geo(5) and US history (predict a 5), does any one have any advice on what AP test i could self study and pass, i tend to do really well on the social sciences</p>
<p>Unless you are a senior you have to graduation.</p>
<p>Sorry i mean until you graduate why stress all this in one week
Especially if your self studying all of them. oh well its to late.or i think. maybe you can still cancel not sure.
But what i would do is maybe read a 1-3 chapters a day for each subject up until the exam date . and maybe during spring break you can read 2 or 3 or more but don't spend the whole day on it .it will deteriorate your mind.
Then try and make the schedule where you have 2 weeks at least before the exams to take tests and understand what you got wrong.
Then maybe the last few days just read overviews of all the chapters which i think are pretty short.
O and also this only applies if your using prep books which i do not clearly know if you are. But with 5 tests i recommended them: like Barron's ,PR ,Cliff Notes</p>
<p>But colleges wont take notice, do you think i could take Spanish, is it easy?, i know spanish.</p>
<p>I hear its pretty harder then the past exams . but don't be discouraged answer these questions real quick:
Wait are you currently a junior?
And are you using any prep books?</p>
<p>Yes, No (that is why i am asking) im gonna start now.
Did i mention i know spanish fluently.</p>
<p>O sorry missed on the books you choose . things i would change are .
for APUSH get REA prep book- especially for essay's
Amazon.com:</a> AP United States History (REA) - The Best Test Prep for the AP Exam: 7th Edition (Test Preps): J. A. McDuffie, G. W. Piggrem, Steven E. Woodworth, Gregory Feldmeth: Your Store
also for biology focus mainly on cliff notes first.
and for Computer Science A which i have took last year get Barron's for it and the rest of the choices you made sound good. For Spanish i think you are in a good position just read an AP prep book so you know exactly what will be on the test.
Physics which i am not familiar with i would stick to a PR which i hear is good.</p>
<p>has any one taken the AP spanish test, I am a native speaker, will it be easy, all i need is a 3 or 4.</p>

How</a> hard is AP Spanish? - Yahoo! Answers</p>
<p>Why are you self-studying so many AP courses? If your high school doesn't offer any and you want to look competitive to adcoms, then I kinda understand why you'd do this.</p>
<p>But if you've already taken a few AP courses in your school, then self-studying all these is just stupid. The average Ivy League applicant has taken 5-6... by the end of senior year!</p>
<p>It will be extremely obvious to adcoms that you are just attempting to pad your resume.</p>
<p>@ The Government: I disagree. Self-studying demonstrates not only dedication and determination, but also the much-desired ability of self-perseverance. Even with 10+ APs after senior year (which I'm aiming for), adcoms won't look at it as an attempt to pad my resume, but rather as an attempt to get ahead in education/life and go beyond what is merely offered to you on a silver plate.</p>
<p>@ TomJones: I'm studying for 5 APs over spring break as well; we are going to be BUSY! (So much for the planned spring break vacation to Cancun--guess I'll put it off till next year :p)</p>
<p>Is that award for 8 AP's and 4's and 5's on all of them worth it by the end of Junior year?</p>
<p>I'm not self studying, I'm just prepping for the AP Exam, because my school is so ***** and the teachers are such ****** that I have to..or else I'd get all 1's..literally</p>
<p>It's good to see you trying to use your time during Spring Break to excel in those AP tests!</p>
