1. Know the types of questions and the weight of each type of question on the test or exam. 2. Be sure that your notes and homework assignments are complete. 3. Do not cram for tests. Cramming will often cause panic. You will not remember much of the information in the long term. 4. Study in "chunks." If you learn material over a number of weeks instead of over a few hours, you will retain the information for a longer period of time. 5. Over-learn material for the first test. Be sure you continue to study the material past the point at which you think you know the material well. 6. Form a study group with other members of the class or others who are enrolled in A.P. Calculus. It is helpful to discuss concepts with others ("To Teach is To Learn."). 7. Verbalizing will help make an idea more concrete. Read your notes aloud, but paraphrase as you read. If you can put the concepts in your own words, it is more likely that you understand the material you are studying. 8. Use Mnemonic Devices to help remember some basic definitions or steps in a procedure. Chief SOHCAHTOA can help you recall the definitions for the basic trig functions and FOIL can help you remember how to multiply two binomials together. 9. When you get homework papers returned, rework the problems that you missed. 10. When you get back your tests, rework the problems that you missed.
