<p>Ok, so here's the situation I have unfolding before me for the next 5 weeks. I am currently in AP Chem, APUSH, and AP Lit. My teacher for AP Chem is supposed to be one of the best AP prep teachers in my school and consistently has the best AP records. I have the PR book, but i've really been told that I have to do nothing outside of class for his class.
Now, onto APUSH and Lit. My APUSH teacher is the worst teacher I've ever had, and someone got a 1 last yr on the exam. I got a B first semester, but not because I don't know history. I want a 5 so badly, but all the prep is gonna fall on me. Any tips?
Same thing for Lit. My teacher is content with us all getting 3's, but I want a 5 but she doesn't prepare us at all.</p>
<p>Any books, tips, study plans, words of wisdom, etc. would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>Go to a book store and get some AP review books that have actual back tests in them. If there is no store near you, look at Amazon.com and order some. They can be very useful. Barrons, Princeton Review, Kaplan, all put out books. There are probably more that I am not thinking of.</p>
<p>My AP English Language teacher last semester (who no longer teaches; he is now an assistant principal) always said to us, "Don't worry about the MC guys, just do well on the essays and you will be fine." I wonder how right he is about that....</p>
<p>Slighn I think the AP test is designed so that if you are terrible at the MC the FR can make up for it and vice versa. Like I know in AP Chem exam the FR SAVED my score. I wouldn't gotten a 3 if not for the FR. I got a 4 ;)</p>
<p>Awesome. It's nice to know that I stand a decent chance of scoring well on the AP English language exam. Whose bright idea was it anyways to decide an English test should be multiple choice? In all of the English classes I have taken, there was no such thing as a "multiple choice" test. It was all essay format! I hate the standardization of education.</p>
