<p>Well, it's that time of year again: AP Exams. I have a billion things that I want to accomplish for the rest of the school year and summer and I just can't find the time or energy to do any of them.</p>
<p>AP Statistics (FLVS-Online Course): 90 assignments to finish by May 11 (yeah, I'm kind of dropped the ball with my Stat Class)</p>
<p>AP Physics: Mandatory Before School, After School, and Weekend Review Sessions and Tests, that might I add are for a grade.</p>
<p>AP US History: Not as bad, but I still have to review old material from my AMSCO book.</p>
<p>Crew: 6 days a week, 3 hours a day after school, very critical time for States and Nationals Competition. Can't afford to miss practice.</p>
<p>Not to mention I have an AP English Research Paper to worry about, I'm behind in PreCalc, and my ECs are not where I'd like to be, and I'm probably going to have to take Summer School during the summer so there's virtually not time to rest. I'm going crazy here. I'm asking for any advice on how to deal with all of this in just a month. I need a serious miracle. What do I do?</p>
<p>Being a self-proclaimed master of procrastination, I will attempt to give you advice, but I truthfully have no real method.
The most important thing is to not stress. If you think you have it under control, it will be under control. Do whatever you can to make yourself relax, and try to believe that you will end up accomplishing all of it. I know how this sounds, but it truly does work (at least, from my own experiences.)
Prioritize. Order each task according to level of importance and work your way down the list.
As far as getting work down, that depends on your own habits. I work well doing a huge amount of work all at once, resting, tackling another huge amount of work, and so forth. I start something and finish it in the same sitting. However, choose whichever strategy is most effective for yourself.
As for being busy, refer back to point 1: try not to stress. Take whatever free time you do have and sit with a cup of tea or coffee, doing something that sets your mind at ease. I find that sudoku, crosswords, reading, even video games are a nice de-stresser. You don’t have to have much time; this can be 10 or 15 minutes out of your day. Do this every day that you can. It may also help to energize you before starting on work.</p>
<p>Hopefully this helps in some way!</p>
<p>I cram huge segments of AP stuff into a few hours at the library.
ie- I crammed all of AP gov’t down (I did take the class though) in 3 hrs. at the library.</p>
<p>Try that when studying, and I’d also recommend cramming an AP class review stuff or any class for that matter in a quiet, boring, kinda coolish location so you can get the maximum out of your study time and not fall asleep or something.</p>
<p>As someone who is basically self studying Stats, and both Physics C’s. You should really start now and be dedicated. I typically go to the library and spend 6 hours just reading through the material. Then you have to work out problems and most importantly read old tests. The Stat’s exam is a crapshoot as the open response can be ridiculously easy (eg 2008) or really hard. The physics ones require brute force as since most the the questions are application you really should just try to read sections to know how to make connections</p>
<p>oops didnt see youre in precalc nvm physics b is a joke is really easy</p>
