so you’ve spent the last year in ap calculus class, doing so many practice problems and mock tests that you now probably dream in derivatives and integrals. the test is tomorrow — what will you be doing the night before the ap exam?? <\/p>\n

we here at magoosh have put together a list of the ten best tips, a list of dos<\/strong> and don’ts<\/strong>, for the night before the big test. <\/p>\n

tips for the night before the ap exam<\/h2>\n

tip 1. don’t<\/em> plan for a big night out<\/h3>\n

you can celebrate after<\/em> the exam is over. the night before the test should be spent quietly relaxing at home.<\/p>\n

\"fireworks\"<\/p>\n

tip 2. don’t<\/em> cram<\/h3>\n

so if you’re supposed to be stuck at home the night before the ap exam, doesn’t that mean you need to spend every minute studying?<\/p>\n


\nno!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

a little review on the night before is fine. but it’s actually counter-productive to study every detail or attempt to memorize all of the formulas the night before. <\/p>\n

besides, you need your sleep more. studies have shown<\/a> that cramming doesn’t really help you out anyway. cramming<\/strong> only adds to your stress and lowers your confidence.<\/p>\n

this leads us to our next two tips.<\/p>\n

tip 3. do<\/em> review the material a bit<\/h3>\n

as mentioned in tip 2, some studying the night before is beneficial. <\/p>\n

do a few practice problems to raise your confidence levels. read over a few definitions and theorems.<\/p>\n

the following articles may help you, depending on which ap test you’re taking (though remember this is a review<\/em>, not cramming<\/em><\/strong>).<\/p>\n
