<p>How do you guys review for finals, AP exams, SAT subject tests? How do you prepare for it from the beginning so you don't have to cram as much? Do you mark down certain problems/chapters when you do your homework so you know what you need to focus on when you study for the finals? Do you review periodically? </p>
<p>Share your methods and opinions on what you think is the best way to avoid cramming and do the very best on these big tests!</p>
<p>Basically, tests should reflect what you've learned during a year, two years, etc. They should not reflect what you've crammed in the last 24 hours. I use notecards for terminology help. For AP exams, get as many practice tests as possible. Do 1 and see how you do. Then review your study guide book and take another one. </p>
<p>For SAT subject tests, it all depends on the subject. It's basically just doing sample problems and reviewing.</p>
<p>For finals, go through the textbook and put stickies on the chapters you have a hard time with, or make a list of all the unfamiliar stuff. Then, just study that part.</p>
<p>There's no secret in doing well on these tests. What you put in it is what you get. And maybe some luck involved as well :)</p>
<p>I basicly procrastinate...</p>
<p>I don't...I do like right before class, I hope to change that this year.</p>
<p>Yeah I'm not a big fan of hhraming for tests....that sounds disgusting and I have no idea *** it is :D</p>
<p>Basically, for math/science I do the olympiads and for humanities I read mad fanfics...but that's the bare bones version...</p>
<p>My success starts in the summer. I study one week for each AP class so that I do next to nothing during the school year. In fact, I only really had to hhram...er, cram, for CS AB this year because I only decided to take it at the end of march.</p>
<p>However, when I studied for E and M it went in my brain and back out, and I didnt have mastery of the material until the week before the exam lol.</p>
<p>I didnt really study for APs until May after that because of laziness/olympiads...and I spent 4 days studying for APES because it's all memorization anyway, and it was a joke too (it was late testing).</p>
<p>i cram on final exams and for ap exams , the teachers usually have a two-week review prior to ap week.</p>
<p>For APUS, I made flashcards for each test and saved them in a shoebox. Therefore, when finals came around I could just pull them all out and look through them.</p>
