Tips for each subject from AP-graduates!

<p>Biology
Gauge when to start studying by how much of the book you will have covered by the test. The best review book is Cliffs.</p>

<p>Eng Language
Practice timed writing so you won’t run out of time like I did! I don’t really think a book is necessary for this one. There are 3 types of prompts: synthesis (DBQ), analysis, and argument. Practice each type. Memorize rhetorical devices and strategies (similes, allusions, bathos, metonymy, etc. your teacher should give you a long list) and use them in the anaylsis essay. Write for content and style, both are important.</p>

<p>Calculus
This is probably the most repetitive test. If you know antiderivatives, derivatives, and how to find the volume and area of shapes on graphs, you’re good to go. Do as many practice tests as possible because the questions will start to become monotonous after a while. For this test you only need to know only a few concepts, but you really need to practice application so no question will be a surprise.</p>
