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.

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?

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

Best thing I did in APUSH was annotate the textbook. I would read it once, then go through a second time with a highlighter. Before tests/quizs I read everything again once then read my annotations once. Didn't do any of the optional define terms/answer questions, fell asleep everyday in class. Worked well for me, A/5
