Advice?
Answered

This will be my schedule next year as a Senior...

AP Lang, AP Lit, AP Stats, AP Calc AB, AP Bio, AP Psych, and I will be self-studying AP Phys C: Mech

I know at least some of you took a lot of APs last year, and of you guys, do any of you have suggestions or advice that helped you succeed? Thank you!

I'm not gonna answer this question, but according to my senpais who take a lot of APs, they just wing it.

Hi!

That's an impressive range of APs. I have a few pieces of advice.

Pay attention throughout the school year!! With AP Stats, sometimes I wouldn't do or didn't try hard on the homework. When studying, I noticed my weakest points were when I didn't do the homework. Paying attention throughout the year will really help you. AP Lang is a breeze(well as much of a breeze as an AP class can be) if you have a good teacher and pay attention!

Also, find out how you study best. This could be through videos, reading textbooks, practice problems, writing/rewriting notes, etc. Develop your favorite way to study throughout the year, and focus on what works when studying for the exams.

Though I know many people hate this website, I used the College Board Classroom for my studying. I asked my teachers to post all of the progress checks. I would do the progress checks, then watch videos on anything I missed.

DO PRACTICE PROBLEMS!! I regret not doing more practice problems for Chem. Do practice problems from College Board, as those are what to expect.

Best of luck with your APs! I know they are very challenging, but you got this!

That you for your time! I will take your suggestions into consideration. I tried doing more practice problems in AP Chem last year and noticed huge improvements. To further elaborate on one of your suggestions, how would you rate the college board's AP Classroom as a medium for studying?

Hi! Sorry about the delayed response- I just saw this. I would rate it an 8/10. I think that it gives a good overview of the topics, but the practice problems they give are not the best. Sometimes, the instructors are really great(Dena Leggett from AP Chem is my absolute favorite and she saved my chem grade) but others aren't great. I would totally sue AP Classroom though!!

It looks well-rounded. It seems you are applying to an Ivy League University.

I'm not, lol. I'm just keeping myself busy and suffocating my social media addiction.
