Preparing for classes during summer

Pre-College Topics High School Life

<p>My current junior schedule consists of:</p>

<p>AP US History
AP Comp. Sci
Physics
Pre-calc H
AP Language
AP Statistics</p>

<p>Personally, physics and pre-calculus are two subjects I will find easiest judging from my handling with math/science subjects over the years, so those I don't have to worry about right now. Over the summer, I am going to learn Python then move over to Java/JScript to have an advantage in Comp Sci, so that's one thing I'm doing to prepare. Language has always been a breeze for me but honestly aside from reading there isn't much I can do to prepare for that class.</p>

<p>This leaves me with AP Stat and AP US History. How would you guys go about preparing for these classes over the summer so I don't get bogged down with stress during the school year? Past the assigned summer work, of course. I want to be ahead because I don't feel comfortable being at the same level with other people who are clearly superior to me.</p>

<p>There’s really no point in preparing for AP US History. </p>

<p>The summer assignment usually sets you up with all you should really know prior to the class. I had an edge over many of my classmates because I was more aware of current events and the realm of politics, but that was mostly due to my incessant watching of CNN, MSNBC, and, of course, the Daily Show. (ha.) </p>

<p>I think that if you want to perhaps be more familiar with current events and politics, which will allow you a bit of more depth in your comprehension, make it a habit this summer to watch at least one news broadcast or some political analyst program per week.</p>
