<p>okay, so i've been reading up on how to prepare for the upcoming exams. on many, i'm told to "review" this and "review" that, but it's not clearly specified <em>what</em> i need to do to 'review'. i'm suuuper confused here.</p>
<p>like, i have the review books and everything, but i don't know how to utilize them for studying effectively. my spring break has just started, and i realized that i could get in some very valuable studying time...but only if i knew exactly <em>how</em> to study. please help!</p>
<p>take official CollegeBoard FRQs and study furiously as if u were a computer. We only have about a month to go :S
I think I am screwed, big time.</p>
<p>For AP Psychology there were just too many terms to memorize, so I have compiled an online notes on my computer :)</p>
<p>What should one review? Everything. What do you, specifically, need to review? Essentially everything that you don’t know.</p>
<p>I’d recommend reading your review book from cover to cover. That’s a sure-fire and fool-proof way of studying, but it obviously takes a lot of effort and time. If that’s not feasible, at least skim through the table of contents or section headings, and if you can’t describe/explain to yourself what that section would be about, then you should read it. You could even skim the index and come up with an explanation or discussion for each term; if you’re stumped, read the corresponding sections.</p>
<p>As recommended above, taking the practice tests is a good way to assess your knowledge, but it’s not as easy to pinpoint your weak areas that way as it is with the other methods.</p>
<p>Read your review guides from cover to cover if you haven’t already. If you already have, reread (and possibly take a peak inside of your text book and or notes on) the sections that are you’re weakest. When you’re done with all of this, take one of the practice tests inside of your review book. Take note of every question you get wrong and read-up on those parts specifically to see where you made the mistake. If you get a question wrong once, you should have the intention of never getting one like it wrong again.</p>
