How to prepare for classes next year?

<p>Next Semester,
I am taking:
AP Calc BC
AP Physics C
Japanese IV
Computer Science
CapSEEDS (economics/community service)</p>

<p>I already have the books for those classes. Should I start studying them so that I can get a head start and a 4.0 Semester GPA? And how should I approach studying?</p>

<p>My Cumulative is a tad low, 3.7 UW - GC said the rigor of my course load at school is a 4.5/5 with 5 being the most rigorous. I just want to be more competitive in lower-Ivy schools (Cornell, UPenn, Brown, etc.)</p>

<p>Depending on when you start, why not read through the first chapters a few weeks before the beginning of the year? Skim the table of contents (if there is one). I don’t think you need to study too much, but it would be nice to start the year with a little background, right?</p>

<p>Yes, thanks for the advice. That makes sense. This semester would mean so much for me, and it would be great to get ahead of my classmates. Man, I should’ve done this before.</p>

<p>Go outside, enjoy summer, and hang out with your friends. Enjoy your life, don’t make school the only part of it and self-study.</p>

<p>Chill for your summer, but start working on Calc and Physics around August or so.</p>
