AP exams
AP, short for Advanced Placement, means college-level classes that end with a national exam. Lumi helps you keep the course content and quizzes you again before exam day.
In short
AP courses are offered in many high schools, in subjects like biology, chemistry, US history, calculus or psychology. Each course ends with an exam run by the College Board. American colleges may use the result to grant credit or let you skip a class, depending on their own policy. Many students sit their AP exams in May. Content and format differ from one subject to another, so always check the official description of your course.
What goes on your cards
In AP History, put events, causes and consequences on cards. In AP Biology and Chemistry, vocabulary, cycles and equations. In AP Psychology, terms and the names of researchers. For that, work through past exam questions with a timer. Lumi covers the part you can memorize.
A study rhythm
AP exams are in May, so start your card reviews in winter and see each chapter several times, on different days (Rawson and Dunlosky, 2011). Keep the last weeks for practice exams.
