College boards conduct AP Tests for domestic and international students every year. These tests are a summation of year-long Advanced Placement courses. Usually, these tests come in multiple-choice sections and provide a free-response section. As the month of May draws near each year, college students are usually braced up for the test.
Let’s consider some study tips to help international students ace AP Tests.
-
Begin your study Early
A stitch in time saves nine so avoid procrastination as it can pose a major challenge when it comes to meeting deadlines. Also, endeavour to start preparing early in order to get a good start and be in a good position to ace the test.
-
Maximize your Time
Technology has made it possible for students to study anywhere and everywhere, anytime and every time they desire to. With all the study materials stored in your mobile phones, tablets or PCs, students are just a click away from the library. This way you can maximize your time studying while waiting at the bus station or at a restaurant while waiting to be served.
-
Have a study Schedule
Ensure you draft out a study plan which is realistic and one that you can easily comply with. Schedule a study plan at the time that best suits you and don’t forget to practise past questions.
-
Drink more Water
While you study, do well to have a regular intake of water. This is to keep the brain super active and hydrated while you study. So, while you study, have a bottle of water beside you. This will also make you stay healthy throughout your preparation.
-
Practising Past Questions
While you’re at it, ensure you don’t leave any stone unturned. Take note of questions repeated every year and practice using past questions. This gives you the confidence to finish early and have extra time to review your submissions.
-
Ask Questions
This is one of the benefits of starting early. So, take down questions you need clarity on to clarify ambiguities. Fortunately, lecturers are ready resources you can leverage on as well as your colleagues through group study.
-
Be Disciplined
This entails setting priorities and following through on them. You don’t have to attend every party or program you are invited to attend. Value your time and space remembering that staying focused is key to acing an AP Test.
