For those who are in high school, and in AP classes, you know what I mean. As a junior, I put up my standards up high when it came to AP classes (theyre like honors classes right?) so I decided to take 5 of them: US History, Language and Composition (a.k.a. english) Biology, psychology, and calculus! I'm super stressed out now, especially with calculus because my teacher doesn't teach it well.. what do you recomend in this situation? Is there any websites or places I can go to get help? Thanks :)
P.S. I would like to know about physics too, because even though I'm not taking it this year, I need it for Calculus and I'm taking it next year

I pray that the Lord God will give you strengh and courage as you go through Ap classes. In Jesus name, amen.Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request.

Hey! I've taken all those classes, except for Calculus (well, I'm taking Calculus BC right now, but I haven't taken the test), so hopefully I'll be able to help out.

U.S. History: Not a hard test at all. Grab yourself a copy of the Princeton Review for this subject and read the book about a week before the test. I read the book the night before and thought the test was super easy--got a 5 without problem. It really is just rote memorization.

AP Lang: I wouldn't buy a Princeton Review for this one. Just practice the timed essays (synthesis, rhetorical analysis, and argumentative) and utilize practice multiple choice passages. Make sure you know some vocab: allusions, metaphors, blah blah blah. If you can write pretty, you're set.

Biology: Also got a 5, but this one was a toughy. They changed it from last year, as well, so I may not be able to help as much. Make sure you know your labs (There are 10-14 crucial ones that you should have done throughout the year) and buy a Barron's Review book. Read that religiously.

Psychology: ALL VOCAB. Seriously. So, so, so easy.

Calculus: This one is a bit more tricky.

First, are you taking AB or BC?
I haven't bought the Princeton Review or anything yet, but they haven't failed me on prior tests. Depending on what textbook you're using, Calcchat.com is a great help. It gives you step by step answers to the problems in your textbook. As long as you try to understand it and not just copy it down, it will help.
Khanacademy.org should also be useful. < For Calculus and Physics.

And if you have any questions, you can always send me a message!
