Best way to study for the Chemistry AP Test?
534706
First of all, an AP Chemistry study guide is a must.  These are available from many publishers at your local bookstore.  They are usually found in the SAT/ACT prep section.  Follow along in the AP study guide as each unit is presented in class.   Waiting until a few weeks before the exam to start is NOT recommended.

I found the best way to study for my exams was to breakdown everything I needed to know into little topics.\n Then I would get a piece of a3 paper and do big spider diagrams for each topic and draw pictures to help me remember. I used to make up little songs and rhymes as well. Sounds stupid but it work. \nOh and when your in your exam a good tip someone once gave me was: read though the whole exam paper, put a tick next to all the questions you definatley know the answer too. Then question marks next to the ones where maybe you know the answer and a cross next to the one you havent a clue. Then go and do all the questions with ticks, by which time you brian is focus and you will probably have remember the maybe (question mark ones) ones so that when you come to the lasts crosses (havent got a clue ones) one you brian is correctly in gear and the crosses will hopefully be question marks if not ticks!! hope that makes sense. good luck

take class, easier. plans to study math on cd less solid (for most people), than having to do it every day in class.  (learned 80% of my calculus the night before the AP test, got a 5 out of 5)

Ask your counselors to take it P/Np. If they don't P/NP you - get your parents on the deal. Counselors really should help you out. Or - make a deal with your chem teacher - tell her that if you pass the AP exam - give you a B. If you get a 2 - then ask for a C. Try to haggle with your teacher. Talk to her and tell her your problem and try to make her understand your life as a second semester senior and that you could've just as easily dropped AP Chem after 1st sem.

play my favorite music (not too loud)\nread and try to understand the subject (english)\nfor history read it like it was a story and memorize the imortant things sucha as dates or referneces like which one happened first, etc.\nfor math and science i just do a lot of problems to practice, since i love math and science i don't see studying as an obligation, but the best way to study is to practice.

There are four ways to get better Grades in Science.  \n\n1.  Get interested in what you are studying.  If you find your material interesting, you'll want to learn it.  \n\n2.  Try to learn something practical about a process that you are studying in school.  Ask the question; "How will I use what I learn in the "real World"? A good example is water treatment.  One of the Chemical experiments you'll learn is about Brine (Salt) saturation of an aqueous solution.  In the real world, i.e. a beef processing plant, brine is used to keep oils from the edible rendering plant from sticking together and clogging the pipes.  Keeping the salt concentration in the water high enough is a good High School experiment that has great value in the "Real World".      \n\n3.  Understand what you are reading.  If you are supposed to memorize a classification system, understand why the system is in place.  Ask the question, "If I were putting this system together, how would I have done it?"\n  If you know more about a subject, when test time comes, you'll breeze through the questions.\n \n4.  To repeat other posters to this question, study, study and study.  You'll learn the material but you have to read it in order to understand it. \n\nBy the way, use the Internet and your local library to research your topics.  The World Wide Web is a tremendous source of information.  The fact that you are on this site demonstrates that you want to learn and that you are using the tools at your disposal to do so with. \n\nGood Luck.

Get this book and practice these tests.  The tests are timed so practice under time.  The more you get right the better the results. the areas you should study are \nbasic arithmetic word problems no more advanced than simple algebra\nsimple science and mechanical principles\nsimple everyday chemistry\nvocabulary

Don't memorize. \nStudy in a distraction-free setting.\nHighlight/underline what is important.\nWrite down what you highlighted.\nDon't study the same thing for more than 20-30 minutes.

1. Find a quiet place to study,\n2. Clear your study area of all distractions; and\n3. When studying, have all of the available study materials on hand to prepare for your exam.\nAll of them are brief rules to prepare for an exam, but that goes a long way to get you a passing score.

The way i like to study for a test is to read the material, think it through, and then try to write it down in point form. this is good because i will see what i cant remember, and the pointers can be used as a review.

1. Get a decent night's sleep\n2. Do some practice problems the night before as a little warm-up\n3. Eat a decent breakfast\n4. Stay calm\n5. And just try to stay concentrated while taking the test, it's a long test, but focus and concentration is key.\n\nRead the problems fully, and try to eliminate answers.\n\nYou should do fine. Good luck!

Well, take a couple of minutes to identify why it is important for you and your life to study hard for AP. There isn't any inherent reason to study. You study hard when you can connect why studying now and doing well in school will be a benefit to your life now and in the future.\n\nDon't forget to take short breaks from studying every 45 mins to an hour, and schedule study time so that you have a beginning and end in mind. Then you should make sure that you do something that you like after you study for your scheduled study period.\n\nGood luck, you can do it.

Do your homework.  It's the only way, especially if the class is a homework based class.  If your class is mostly focused around quizzes and tests then you have to do well on those.
