<p>I've been doing and am almost done with my 10 pounds of summer work and online classes so I have a good 3 weeks free. I'd appreciate any help so I can get ahead of what should be a fairly difficult sophomore year. </p>
<p>I'm taking:</p>
<p>Pre-Calc H
AP Bio (no previous Chem experience so I'd like to know what I should know)
AP Macro
AP Gov
AP Psych (self)
English 2 H
APUSH</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Check out AP Exam prep books (I recommend Barron’s (for Bio at least) and My Max Score (for APUSH and AP Gov) and you can get started on learning some of the general concepts on the AP exams. Also check out the CollegeBoard website for a list of need-to-know concepts in each class. For my Bio class, I needed little background in chemistry. In fact the chemistry concepts and labs done in AP Bio were super easy compared the Honors Chem class I took the year before. </p>
<p>I have taken Pre-Calc, AP Bio, AP GOv, and APUSH, so let me know if you need more specifics about any of those. </p>
<p>I would assume the SAT Math II barron’s book would help for precalc</p>
<p>So it looks like we’re on the same boat, with AP Gov and Pre-Calc H coming up. For Pre-Calc, I have enrolled in a coursera course, which will allow me to get exposed to the material beforehand (<a href=“https://class.coursera.org/precalculus-003/wiki/syllabus”>https://class.coursera.org/precalculus-003/wiki/syllabus</a>, this is a useful class, and it’s free too! You can pick and chose each video, or you could go along with the rest of the class). For AP Gov, recently bought the Crash Course prep-book by REA, which I will look over. Last year, I took APUSH, and here is what got me a 5: During the summer, I looked skimmed the AMSCO book (just google AMSCO AP US History) and before the exams, I watched these videos, which gave me a fantastic review and helped loads on the MC: Part 1 (Indians - Civil War): <a href=“APUSH Review: Final Exam Review Part I (Colonial America - Civil War) - YouTube”>APUSH Review: Final Exam Review Part I (Colonial America - Civil War) - YouTube;
Part 2 (Reconstruction - Now): <a href=“APUSH Review: Final Exam Review, Part II (Reconstruction - Present Day) - YouTube”>APUSH Review: Final Exam Review, Part II (Reconstruction - Present Day) - YouTube;
Good luck with soph year</p>
<p>Hey, I’m gonna be a sophomore and I also have AP Gov, Preclac w/ Trig honors and AP Macro coming up</p>

<p>THANK YOU SO MUCH! 
</p>
<p>I was stressing a bit about the Honors Chem because it was a requirement that the Department Head waived as she knew it didn’t really apply to AP Bio, but still I worried a bit. </p>
<p>That link for Pre-Calc was perfect! I never knew that there were free courses that I could use to get ahead. I’ll definitely use AMSCO as well. BTW - those videos are awesome. Tell me how the crash course is!</p>
<p>I got 5 Steps to a 5 for AP Bio, is that fine?</p>
<p>Try MIT OCW. I’ve learned so much physics by watching doing most of the courses, taking notes, and reading a textbook. You can definitely find what you need on there.</p>
