7 Test Prep Tips<\/span><\/h3>\n

As with any exam, you want to study ahead of time to ensure that you are prepared and familiar with the course material. Here are some test prep tips to keep in mind:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Make a realistic study plan. <\/b><\/h4>\n

    Don\u2019t plan to study for six hours a day. Break your study sessions into smaller review periods.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Plan, don\u2019t cram.<\/b><\/h4>\n

    Allow ample time to review course material and focus on areas where you need additional study.<\/span><\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Find a quiet place to study. <\/b><\/h4>\n

    Reviewing notes or reading in a crowded public place may make it difficult to focus. Instead, opt for a quiet place where you can concentrate on your studies.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Take practice tests.<\/b><\/h4>\n

    Peterson\u2019s offers full-length, timed <\/span>AP practice tests<\/span><\/a> to help you simulate the test-taking experience. Our practice tests feature multiple choice and free response sections that test your understanding of how to answer both types of questions.<\/span><\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Utilize flashcards and other study materials. <\/b><\/h4>\n

    Flashcards<\/span><\/a> are a great way to test your knowledge of key terms and definitions. You can also refresh your knowledge of the course material by reviewing class notes and past exams or quizzes.<\/span><\/li>\n

  6. \n

    Ask your teacher for help. <\/b><\/h4>\n

    If you\u2019re struggling to understand a concept or question, reach out to your teacher for help. Ask them for specific examples to help walk you through how to solve a problem or explain a concept.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n

  7. \n

    Take breaks when needed. <\/b><\/h4>\n

    Between study sessions, it\u2019s important to take breaks to relax your mind. Study sessions that are too long often result in failure to retain the information you\u2019re studying or study fatigue leading to burnout.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
