What is the best way to study for AP Exams?

• I have the AP European History and AP Biology exam on May 11th and 14th. I have about 4 and a half weeks to study for them and I don't know what to concentrate on I think i'll be ok in studying for bio but i'm really worried about Euro For Euro: I have the princeton review book, an entire outline of the course my teacher gave me, my textbook (which I was able to highlight all the chapters in) and my flashcards that I have for each chapter out of the resources i have i was wondering which ones i should concentrate on?? also do you have any tips for the DBQ's and essays??

• Answer:

  I personally use the Baron's book (I like it over the Princeton one). For me, I like to read over my class notes, then read the corresponding chapters from either the school textbook or my own Baron's book. For DBQ's and FRQ's, I suggest looking at past APEH exams. They can be found here: http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/members/exam/exam_questions/2085.html DBQ's don't usually require much "studying" (unless you're trying to bring in outside info), and FRQ's/essays should be easy if you know your stuff well and can apply it in writing. I think that MPs are the most important thing to study for, as they make up 50% of your entire grade. While you should know facts, you should also try comparing and contrasting events of different time periods (that's what my APEH teacher suggested). Here's a good grade calculator so you can see what you need to get in order to get a 5,4, etc. http://appass.com/calculators/euro GOOD LUCK! :)
