<p>well .. i am not scathing u, but not everyone is smart in physics or having a "good time" there. our teacher sucks and thats why i have no motivation in that class. so your saying if i read pr, i should be fine... right meng?</p>
<p>lol... u don't even need to do that... u know how i got a 5? i assumed a bunch of values were 0 on frq, so the answer to each part was 0... i didn't think that'd actually work... lol</p>
<p>Giant</a> 76-Page AHAP Review</p>
<p>Here's how I'm preparing:</p>
<p>AP Biology: Reading through CliffsAP and taking the mini quizzes in each section, along with the mini quizzes in each section for 5 Steps to a 5, Barron's, and Princeton Review. After I finish the entire book and all of those mini quizzes, I will take as many practice tests as I can and focus on whatever problems I got wrong. I also am considering reading through the CliffsAP the night before the test. Additionally, I am taking the SAT II Biology in May, so I will be taking a few practice SAT II's for Biology to figure out how I'll do and which (E or M) I should take. I'm aiming for a 5/750+, but a 4/700+ would be alright.</p>
<p>AP US History: I'm reading straight through the John Newman review book and doing the questions in each section, then taking as many REA practice tests as I can and brushing up on whatever my problem areas are. I am also going to take a few practice SAT IIs out of the Kaplan book as I'll be taking that the day after my AP test and would like to know where I stand and how I can improve. I'm aiming for a 5/750+, but a 4/700+ would be alright.</p>
<p>AP English Language: I'm going to take the literary terms from CliffsAP and 5 Steps to a 5 and put them on flashcards which I'll practice every once in a while. I might read through Strunk and White's Elements of Style to work on my writing a bit and take a practice test or two, but I feel confident that I'll get a 5 with minimal effort.</p>
<p>Hmm...I guess I should start soon, eh?</p>
<p>Is the AP English Language supposed to be easy? How is Lit in comparison?</p>
<p>I was getting quite nervous, but some people at my school seem to consider these the "joke" exams since so many people take them ... how much preparation are you going to do?</p>
<p>I was thinking of just taking a few practice exams, perhaps go over the flashcards I made ... I don't know if I should spend too much time on it as a whole though. Chem seems much harder to me, although I've already spent most of my time on that.</p>
<p>Lit is supposed to be relatively harder but it depends on the person really. Lit surrounds the whole poetry thing which makes it difficult for some people. Terms aren't neccessarily important, although a big factor. Mostly it's to see if you got the right tone and meaning out of the text.</p>
<p>Aignam: THANKS!!! </p>
<p>cujoe: sorry i was vague I got a bit overexcited at the thought of a shortcut. I was referring to the History review guide you (I thought it was you) wrote about in a previous post.</p>
<p>I feel ready for English Language, and pretty solid in calc, but gov and chem are freaking me out!</p>
<p>sarorah ~ What is that 76-page review doc? Could you post a link, or at least email it to me?</p>
<p>I'm not doing as well as I thought I would on the Barron's chem tests... How hard is it to get a 4 in AP Chem?</p>
<p>Microeconomics: my class didn't even cover 80% of it yet. I bought a Barron's economics prep book FOUR MONTHS ago and haven't read a single darn page. I also scabbed an economics textbook from the school thinking that it'll give me better preparation but its rotting in my shelf.</p>
<p>Macro: no, nope, nothing, 0, zero.</p>
<p>but again, I checked out the free-response Qs and multiple choice and they were very straightforward. Afterall, economics is supposed to be the easiest AP there is :D</p>
<p>WOW thanks, is this your personal notes (76 pages) because I noticed you stop at the Vietcong which coincidentally is what I am barely taking notes on.</p>
<p>i am taking 8 ap exams. have to finish 4 per week. will start tommorow. Hope me luck on facing the dooms-month (lol) of May.</p>
<p>And yeah, what is that 76 page review?</p>
<p>lol People, aignam posted the huge review link

<p>cryptic fate
good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>do you think reading the 76 page review would be better tha reading REA if i start now (assuming that i can finish reading either one before the exam). REA seems to have alot of unnecessary details in it. What do you think?</p>
<p>thanks ilovemath, good luck to you too!</p>
<p>I don't know. I want to read a whole lot before the exam because I didn't really pay much attention in class and I forgot a whole lot of details. So maybe details is what I need. I'm going to definently read all of REA and that 76 page review, and I'll try to get the AMSCO reading in. Oh man. It's hard to do any practice tests when you're only on the Eisenhower Era.</p>
<p>how will you finish reading both in three weeks?</p>
<p>A lot of people have supposedly read the 76 page review in 2 days. And the REA review book only has 14 chapters, and some aren't very long, so reading that won't be a problem. I'm not sure about AMSCO though because the chapters are sometimes longer than REA's and there's like 30 chapters.</p>
<p>If I'm reading the REA and the 76 page review, I could read AMSCO as a last refresher type deal but yeah, it's not necessary. 3 weeks is still quite some time, some people don't start till 1 week before the exam, and they still get quite a bit reviewed.</p>
<p>The problem is that if i read REA, alot od information wont stay in my head. LOL.</p>
<p>But as far as Chemistry goes, I feel I had prepared well enough. All i need to do is the practice. (btw, I finished revising chem in 2 days using PR).</p>
