How to Prepare Yourself For the AP Calculus Test

The AP test season is a very strenuous time in a high school student's life.
Taking the AP test will get students out of having to take GE (general education) classes in college, but it requires much time and effort to be able to take the AP test, let alone pass the class for it.

So to aid you in passing the AP test, here are some methods you can use while taking the AP test to at least improve your score to some degree. 1) Just like the SAT's, start studying to take the test from the beginning of the year. Whatever you learn in class that day, make sure to master that skill within that week so that you can keep up with the continuous barrage of information that the teachers give you.

2) Buy books for the subjects you are going to take.

If you think that the teacher's methods just aren't working for you, go out and buy study books so that you can self study at your home.
For example, i personally used Barron's simply because it had the most similar questions compared to the AP test.
3) Time yourself with practice tests so that you are accustomed to the AP test. For the multiple choice sections, practice dividing the questions to which is the easiest to which is the hardest.

The main problem with the free response sections are that kids run out of time, so practice that.
Give yourself an average of 15 minutes for each problem. If you follow these steps, I can not guarantee that it will improve your grade, but it will improve the success rate of you achieving either a 3, 4, or a 5 to pass the AP test.
