Studying for AP tests
Classes at scholar school will help prepare students to take AP tests by teaching study skills and covering appropriate material. However, it is highly recommended that students also get a study guide to study for the tests on their own before the tests are taken in May.
Study guides cost about $10-20 each. Some popular guides are: Barron's, REA, and Princeton Review Guides.
High School Plan
It is highly recommended that you create a high school plan and plan when you want to take each of the AP tests.
