My AP World History exam is in about two weeks. But I am writing about how to study instead of actually studying, so I don't know if you really want to take my advice. Well, here you go:
(not in any particular order)
MUSIC
~Music makes everything more interesting, everyone knows that. But just don't turn it up too high, or else you will get distracted and start singing or whatever.
~I usually play playlists. You can decide how long you're going to study by telling yourself what song to stop at. I also feel really accomplished if I play through the entire playlist while studying
REWARDS
~Give yourself rewards if you study for an amount of time without getting distracted. For example, I let myself watch 10 minutes of dramas for every 30 minutes I study.
NOTES
~Take notes! Instead of just reading your textbook, write down the important stuff. It gives you horrible writer's cramp, but it helps you remember stuff.
DIVIDE YOUR TIME
~I gave myself around 4 days per unit. For each, I spend 2-3 days reading the stuff in the review book, 1 day filling out the study guide my teacher gave me, and the remaining time watching crash course...
VIDEOS
~Maybe you've heard of Crash Course and John Green? This amazing guy makes awesome videos, mostly around 10 minutes, that summarizes each chapter. He talks really quickly and it doesn't help as much as reading and such, but it's entertaining. You get to procrastinate by watching educational videos!
REVIEW SESSIONS
~Most schools have review sessions that you can go to. Ok. I'm a hypocrite because I never go. But I'm sure it's really helpful!
These are just some of my personal tips and they work for me!
