Stats has always been tough for me and with the AP exam coming up, I'm getting pretty anxious. What study habits helped you guys succeed, and are there any online resources that explain the concepts in a straightforward way?
I completely understand your concerns about AP Statistics—the concepts can be tricky! One of the best study habits is to dedicate time every day for AP Stats review. Breaking down your study sessions into manageable chunks can prevent feeling overwhelmed. For online resources, Khan Academy is renowned for its clear and straightforward teaching style, and it's free! They have an entire section on AP Statistics that can complement your studying.
Additionally, consider practicing past AP exam questions available on the College Board website to get comfortable with the format and types of questions you'll face on the exam. Always try to understand why the correct answers are right, and why the incorrect ones are wrong, as this will deepen your understanding of the concepts. Lastly, form a study group with classmates, as explaining concepts to others can reinforce your own knowledge. Keep persisting, and remember, it's about consistent effort over time. You've got this!
