Do your teachers give you weekend/after school study sessions?

<p>I’m just curious because my AP euro teacher is such a fan of French Revolution so we spent a lot of time on that one section, we are now on nationalism after the Rococo and 2nd french revolution thing.</p>

<p>so start from the beginning of april we are all going to go to a 1.30 hr study session on saturdays with her till the AP exam.</p>

<p>I’m actually kinda excited(some sick pleasure)
, my ap euro class is really getting intense now, the notes is killings me…</p>

<p>how are your guys doing? is AP euro considered a busy/working class for you guys?</p>

<p>I’m in APUSH, and my teacher use to have a big review day before the test. He doesn’t do it anymore. None of my APs have had me come in on weekends yet, though, in a way, I wish I could for APUSH. A lot of the AP Bio kids stay after school ridiculously late and come to school very early to finish things.</p>

<p>For APUSH, my teacher had study sessions twice a week for a month before the test. We’d go and do practice tests. It was really helpful review because we went through the whole book and we got extra credit. :)</p>

4

<p>Nope .</p>

5

<p>for APUSH, we had some before the ap test, but they were useless. all they did was go over the tests in the review books, which could have done by yourself in a tenth of the time</p>

6

<p>For APUSH during the first semester, most of the top kids in the class would gather after school in our APUSH class and have general debates about controversial topics… our teacher would be busy grading or doing other “teacher” stuff, and would chime in whenever he heard something interesting… It was a lot of fun, but sadly we can’t do it this semester…</p>

<p>In AP Gov, since we took it first semester in order to get all the info in before may, my teacher is offering weekly study sessions/lectures in order to prep us for the test. He also is offering one or two APUSH study sessions (though not quite as many, as we are still taking the class).</p>

8

<p>nope. were on our own</p>

9

<p>in our district we have been having monthly review sessions for just about every subject</p>

<p>all the schools in our district get together and listen to ap graders where they tell us what we should do</p>

10

<p>for ap calc we come in a few times for like 3-4 hour sessions during breaks (we have so many breaks @ our school…week in oct, month for christmas, 2wks spring break…its ridiculous)
but anyways…none of my other classes have weekend/review sessions. i wish they did D: </p>

<p>last year in euro we came in 3 times in the few weeks before the test to take practice exams, but that’s all</p>

<p>in class it was entirely discussion based, so we just talked about the chapters we read every single class…it was actually REALLY helpful because you had to read to be prepared, and we talked about the big ideas and the implications, and stuff, which really helped with analysis parts.
also, during the last semester our teacher would divide up the chapters and 2 people would run the discussion and make assignments for everything…it was great.
and by this time last year we were pretty close to starting WWI.</p>

11

<p>A lot of AP teachers at our school do it and quite frankly it is a waste of time.</p>

12

<p>In AP Chem we had saturday sessions all day for the month leading up to the test.</p>

13

<p>My USH teacher is having review sessions once a week during lunch, which is really helpful.</p>

14

<p>I had three review sessions last year for APUSH and like two or three for Bio. Those were pretty useful, but I had my first one for Euro on Tuesday and it was a complete waste of my time. All my teacher did was basically rattle off a bunch of names/terms from our first unit (the Renaissance) to know, and a couple of ones we never even went over, so basically now I know less about the Renaissance than I did before.</p>
