When your schedule is loaded with difficult course work, it’s important to create good study habits. Luckily a lot of teachers and classes have built-in material to work off of. Thanks to the internet, there’s a variety of resources you can use to study and create the perfect study plan for you.
AP Classroom is often a required source for AP classes, either to take tests or to read through lessons, but it can also be used as a resource. It’s especially helpful if you are in an AP class and you’re worried about the big test, because it formats all of its questions the same way the test will. The videos and questions also run through things in the AP style, so if you learn better like that, this study resource is for you.
Heimler’s History Youtube channel is a favorite in history classes, mainly because history is his thing. He gives thorough information in an easily understandable way, though it’s a little fast paced. This resource is good for those who learn at a faster pace, and like to have lectures as background noise. Heimler’s is especially helpful for anyone taking the AP history classes and tests because he focuses on that curriculum in his videos.
Quizlet is a fan-favorite for all kinds of students. It’s really good for memorization and self-quizzing, and you can find almost anything on there. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, Quizlet lets you create your own, unlike the other resources listed here. All you need to do is create a free account. It’s very useful for people who like flashcards, but if you find it hard to read and memorize things on a screen, it might not be the one for you.
With a variety of resources to choose from, it all really depends on your way of learning and retaining information. With technology today, there’s no shortage of online programs, both free and subscription, with videos and articles. And sometimes it’s even just best to stay traditional with a pen, paper and some notecards. Whatever works best for you.
