<p>Oh, and your's too. :D</p>
<p>Wow, lots of people here go to private schools.</p>
<p>"Prioritize, no procrastination, good notes, practice quizzes/tests. I'm still stumped on Calculus though...it's so hard! I'd like some suggestions for Calc studying in particular."</p>
<p>Do your homework. definitely, definitely, try every day if you can. make sure you understand the info, and practice a lot. </p>
<p>that's what i do and it seems to work out fine. i don't really do much more than that.</p>
<p>I barely ever study. Right now there aren't any classes that warrant me too (we haven't had a test yet in AP psych, AP econ teacher said we're all guaranteed A's, AP calc i get the info by just doing the hwork during school or class).</p>
<p>When I did have classes that I actually had to study for (AP Lit, AP US Gov't., other english classes) I found that cramming works the best. Yes, I said it, the old method of studying a little every night did nothing for me. Simply stuffing as much info as humanly possible and then regurgitating it did the best for me. I actually did study a lot (besides cramming) for AP Lit and AP US just because they were extremely hard classes and I do whatever I can (but nothing more) for an A. Cramming doesn't always work, but it helps in science or history where it's all facts/info/other junk rather than understanding and applying concepts in math or AP lit.</p>
<p>I guess I use cramming more for AP tests or SAT II's than anything. I tried really hard all year in AP Lit but only got a 4 whereas I did NOTHING all year in WH and USH until two weeks before when I crammed and got 5's. But my favorite is the SAT II for biology. I had taken a bio honors class a year and half before I took it, so I basically knew nothing. I bought the PR book and crammed (while on vacation) for a week. My parents even made fun of me because of how much I was poring over that one book. In the car the day of the test I decided to take one last look over hormones, since I still barely knew them. Turns out the first four questions were on hormones and I wouldn't have known any of them unless I had crammed twenty minutes before. I got a 770 on that test, whereas I got a 690 on USH (which I had just got done w/ the AP course and still had info fresh in my mind) and a 750 on math (which is my best subject). Cramming rules!</p>
<p>SassafrasRoots: I am good at completing homework and I do practice problems before the tests, but thanks for the suggestions anyways. I guess I'm heading in the right direction, just need to build off of what I'm already doing.</p>
<p>erhswimming: I can't say cramming has been particularly beneficial to me, but kudos to you if that works!</p>
<p>hmm sorry jskpswimm, i can't really help you much more than that. :/ i dunno, math comes pretty easily to me and our calc teacher is really good. umm maybe do flash cards and ask lots of questions?? :/</p>
