How many hours should I put into AP test studying?

<p>I kind of procrastinated this weekend.</p>

<p>I have three:
AP Chemistry
AP Human Geography
AP Euro</p>

<p>I haven't started reviewing yet, but this next week is spring break. How many hours per day?</p>

<p>The question is, which AP are you most interested in?</p>

3

<p>^
I like Euro the most.</p>

<p>sorry dude.</p>

<p>depends on how good you are in each class. think about which classes you are best at and spend less time preparing for those.</p>

<p>Agreed. For AP Euro, study important concepts, and events, and perhaps old review notes and such.
For chemistry, basic concepts skim through review book, and formulas.</p>

<p>I’m not sure about AP HUG since i didnt’ take it.</p>

<p>However go to bed at a reasonable hour. No cramming unless that’s what does you best normally.</p>

<p>I’ll sub in AP Psych for AP Human Geo and give you a rough sketch of how I’m reviewing.</p>

<p>Chem: Relearn topics I didn’t get the first time around (acid base titration, etc)
Euro: Briefly skim through a review book in class, waiting rooms, etc. No need to actually study.
Psych: Read a review book thoroughly and then take some practice tests.</p>

<p>^ practice test might not be so good, since your going to be taking the long test once again, too much/stressful/intimidating probably (at least the few nights before)</p>

8

<p>^ for psych I’m pretty sure it’s not going to be stressful</p>

9

<p>i realize psych is easier, but with 3 AP tests in 2 weeks, one might not want to take so many practice tests. It’d be tiring/tedious and the outcome wont’ be the best which may be discouraging.</p>

<p>^^^Thanks for the suggestion.</p>

<p>But I’m self-studying and I have to see which areas I still need to cover. I’ll just do an MC and look over some past FRQs to get a feel.</p>

<p>25 hours/day is reasonable, doncha think?</p>

<p>^ lol :p</p>
