thank your future self for not cramming. #donotcramever!!!!!!!!
personally, i believe i actually started around mid April since yk. doing good in school. (and frequently prepared at the library right after school + review in school!)
(so you don’t need to follow this, i didn’t even follow this, but what worked for me was actually grinding on the questions and going through the units in one/few sittings. but if you do need some structure then here’s what i came up with below)
ap review session dates TBD; based on interest.
all take place via Discord vc. join server for updates regarding sessions as times are bound to change
| overview exam + unit 1 | unit 2 | unit 3 |
|---|---|---|
| unit 4 | mcq session | FRQ session |
| week of April 5, 2026 | • if you are currently struggling with the course, please start reviewing over your weak units NOW! |
|---|---|
| week of April 12, 2026 | • do a pre-diag (only mcqs), check your answers (make sure you mark why you got it wrong, important concepts to know, how you’d solve it now — because it’s important to understand) & score! |
| • if you have weak units & topics, make sure you refresh on those this week and do mcqs related to those. | |
| week of April 19, 2026 | • review units 1 & 2! |
| • if you have time, find a few frqs to do. then check at least one of them (although answers may vary, make sure you mark what you would’ve missed points on, important concepts to know, how you’d solve it now) & score! | |
| week of April 26, 2026 | • review units 3 & 4! |
| • do more frqs if you haven’t, or if you’re bored start spamming practice exams & scoring. | |
| week of May 3, 2026 | • more practice tests n frqs !!!!! continue the grind :d |
| week of May 10, 2026 | • last minute LIGHT review before the exam (just do a few questions and look at a few frqs but at this point, intense studying should have happened before!) don’t cram in the morning before the exam, or better yet, don’t open the books at all! get good sleep, eat fulfilling food, maintain high energy! |
