<p>For those who have taken these classes, specifically this year is there anyway I can prep for these classes over the summer? What should I be expecting? I've already dealt with an AP class (APUSH) so I know what the workload is like. However, I'm assuming it's a lot different for these classes. Thanks so much, guys! :)</p>
<p>I’ve only taken AP Bio, but I’d suggest getting Campbell’s (we had a huge summer assignment, and so we had to go get our textbook from the school during the summer) and just reading through it, maybe taking notes. It’ll save you a lot of time if you don’t have to read it during the school year, and you can just study your notes come test time. A lot of kids didn’t read the textbook to study for the tests, solely relying on Barron’s, but I was one of the kids that got a 5 on the new, revised test sooo… </p>
<p>I like to think I know what I’m talking about. </p>
<p>I’m taking AP Chem, AP Calc AB, and Spanish 4 this upcoming year as well! I’m planning to read Barron’s for Ap Chem, and Calc, and look online through some of the tougher Spanish concepts, and also see if any Spanish 4 kids have advice for me on what to specifically study. I might try to get vocab memorization out of the way, if I can. </p>
<p>For Chem, definitely make sure you read the textbook for every chapter. I would have loved to do it over the summer, but my school doesn’t let us take any books over the summer except APUSH. I also found it really helpful to start my lab reports before the lab so that I would be familiar with the procedures and have less work to do later. People make chem out to be a really hard class, but in reality it’s not bad at all if you are as prepared as possible. Whatever you do, do not allow yourself to fall behind. There were people in my class trying to finish ~10 lab reports during the last week of school.</p>
<p>For calc, just make sure you are very familiar with trig. Know all of the identities and rules cold so you can apply them easily. For example, power rules, double angle formulas, etc.</p>
