            Alright Juniors and Seniors the time has come for the dreadful AP tests that we all hate, but regardless of our feelings toward them we still need to do our best so we can get that cash at the AAIMS ceremony like so many students at the beginning of this year. In every group of students there are those that wish to do better but don’t know how to go about it. Have no fear my fellow worriers I am here to help, I am going to provide you with a series of tips to help you go about getting great test scores.

 

  • Don't try to cram for the Advanced Placement Tests overnight. Proper preparation takes weeks, even months, of review.
  • If you don't know an answer to a question on the test, and you can't eliminate any bad answer choices, skip the question and only go back if time permits. 
  • Trust yourself. Rely on your instincts.
  • Never leave an easy question blank. Easy questions on the AP test usually have easy answers.
  • Read, read, and read. Read the questions and answers critically.
  • Eliminate answers. For each incorrect answer you eliminate, you increase the probability of guessing the answer correctly.
  • Save your time. Don't spend too much time on any single question on the AP Test. Make sure you have enough time to answer as many questions as possible, in order to rack up as many points as possible.
  • Focus on what the question is asking. If you don't completely understand the question, finding the correct answer is going to be tough.
  • Rushing only hurts you. Work through the AP test at a good pace and keep track of the time remaining for each section.
  • Enter the Advanced Placement exam with confidence. Take a test preparation course. If you know the instructions for each section before you begin the test, you won't have to waste time reading them during the exam.
  • If time permits, revisit the questions you didn't answer. Then, end each section by reviewing your answers.

Alright, there they are!  GOOD LUCK!!
