dentaljon...i liked how you said to emulate the test day by using the erase board and markers...to start practice using it.

After you take a practice exam, RETAKE IT. This will ensure that you actually understand the questions that you didn't understand the first time around. I would not recommend retaking the reading comprehension part though as you will already know what the articles are about. Anyways, retaking tests helped embed a few things into my memory.

for gchem...focus on conceptual ideas instead of calculations (thank you mstoothlady for that info)

for bio, dont just read kaplan and do the destroyer...make sure you read an AP bio book at barnes and noble or borders...get your hands on as much of those AP books as possible.

That was a good one 😀

AP means Advanced Placement.

"High schools provide the AP courses as part of their curriculum to eligible students. Based on the composite score on an AP test, which ranges from 0 to 5, a college may award college credit or advanced placement to a participating student."
