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 don’t 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 FRQ’s and analyze how they are graded:
