Strategies for Review

Start with the list of major topics. This is what the test-makers say will be on the exam.
Decide how best to summarize/learn/remember each topic. Highlight and focus on the topics that
you feel need the most work.

Make and stick to a study schedule. Set aside specific times to study with specific topics that
you plan to review and what you are going to do to review these topics.

Be able to describe each main topic based on all materials available to you such as: your
notes outlines, study guides, labs and activities, textbook, the internet, PowerPoint notes, and the
links I provide on our class website.

Make flash cards of the terms/concepts you dont know.

Connect and recognize similarities and differences between the topics.

Review/practice how to set up math problems for units to cancel out (NO calculators).

Form a study group and arrange convenient meeting times. Have intelligent conversations
with your study group and push each other to make connections between topics.

Take and analyze your performance on both the 2003 and 2008 released exams.

Critically evaluate how to improve for the AP exam using the Exam Diagnostic Guides.

Practice writing the previous AP Exam FRQs and analyze how they are graded:
