Finals are next week. I have a few marginal grades, so I"m working working working working. Actually, a lot of marginal grades. Might only get a 4.2-4.4 this semester tt

So today I studied a crapton of APUS, some Math, but I"m sort of confused as to how to study. I've always done well without studying too much, and I feel that I'm being incredibly inefficient. Does anybody ahve advice as to how to study efficiently?

A lot of my time is going to be eaten by a really really stupid English project. Teacher "you'll have an essay on finals" Students "awwwwww"

Next day "You and a partner will write a combined ~=40 paragraphs and do an artistic booklet."

Me: WTH
Others: YAYA no essay

So I"ve got a lot of work to do

In other news I watched some of hte Tl open on Tyler's stream, it was very nice. I was going to enter, but I had so much to do that I figured i'd do the one after next. I have no intentions of winning or qualifying, but I might be able to beat somebody, and maybe get lucky and lose to somebody famous. I'm on the brink of masters I think. It really depends if I can start beating one base all ins as zerg, and start creaming four gates as toss.

As a ministory I unscrewed my keyboard and got some debris out, ungookified a couple keys, and I love my keyboard now. I'm not sure what type of keyboard it is, but it's not mechanical, and it doesn't have a solid plastic layer underneath... Anyways, I really like it now, although it looks like a granny keyboard (my grandma actually has the same one lolz)

So now I'm only looking for a mouse. I have really small hands, use claw grip. Somebody recommended the salmosa, but I can't find a retailer that stocks them close by. Do you guys that own one like it. If I go to the berkeley LAN I might be able to try superiorwolf's.

Anyways, I'll take a quick break then back to studying.

Ah the obligatory "write a blog instead of study" blog

I remember when I studied for AP US what I realized was at that point it was either I knew the material or I didn't. This means that you should be reviewing the majority of the material and actually learning only a few bits and pieces here and there. If you seem lost, than try looking back at essay questions your APUS teacher game you and modify them a bit and see if you can answer them completely. I didn't rewrite any essays and I assume you won't have to either if you can see a question and know exactly what information to spit out.

Hopefully for math, you've kept up and just know most of the methods to solve problems. I remember for some math tests I would just flip through notes, skim hw, and just be done for the night and do fine on the test the next day just because I consistently did and understood the homework. It was a diff story in college when I tried to cram lol

Salmosa is awesome, bought it like roughly a year and a half ago? Maybe even 2 years. No issues, great, small mouse perfect for starcraft.

ewww junior? oO. i have a whole whiteboard of stuff to do actually. i'll post a picture..

but i woke up late and i'm on break .

for studying efficiently depends on how well you want to learn. If its not as important I study enough so that I know the general idea but not the specifics (which i figure out during the test). for things that matter like unit exams for chem I tend to study till i can do all the practice FRQs and stuff 100% and know why. ...so i guess for math and chem know why you're doing the thing while for APUSH know exactly how things happened and because of what. ie civil war causes: ( i paused for a second...) sectionalism from innovations like erie canal/cotton gin -> slavery becomes a major issue -> kansas/nebraska act -> dred scott -> other stuff -> lincoln elected
...as you can tell I need to study my ass off too ><
OKAY FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE I SEE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

Yeah, I'll look into abyssus. I jsut don't want ot pay that much. I have a crapton of money, but whenever I buy anything remotely connected to gaming they don't like it, so I'd like to buy a cheapish mouse to avoid a bit of that stigma.

In regards to that do you just do more and more practice FRQs?

how far in the curriculum are you guys at .
our tests are harder than the AP test is supposed to be, which is great.
bad teacher, oh god . do you study alone more or do you have study partners?

More alone :/

We just finished electrochem. We've done all the hard stuff first, supposedly. Acids bases equilibrium, kinetics, thermo, and stoichiometry.
