When do you start preparing?

Heh, I used Princeton Review and prepped hard core the two weeks before the AP Chem exam. I read the whole thing and worked every practice question. My practice exam score went from a 2 to a 5, and I ended up getting a 4 on the real thing.

This ties into another thread floating around with a discussion of the difficultly of AP Chem. Like I said there, the hard part for me was getting around the new concepts much more than the math, which I found easy. This was largely due to the fact that I had a really crappy Chem teacher and I had to teach myself most of it. If I’d had a good teacher for the year I think I could have easily pulled out the 5.

As far as I know, there isn’t any real way to prepare for English besides doing your work during the year. It takes practice that you’re not going to get out of a prep book.

I can’t really comment on the others, since I haven’t had spanish and I’m currently taking Calc and Econ.
