me?! or who? I'm a junior, SAT and ACT this year. Meditation and knowledge sharpens the mind. I'll tell you what I get on AP US test after I take it. It's not looking soo good... =( well... this is what I did. For preview of my American History book I looked at the pictures chronogically that are included on every page or so. I mentally noted what the events were, pictures should represent important events or people. I memorized those and flipped the pages concious through the book 4times just looking at the pictures(review). Now, all my passes are just filling in more detail to my events thus aiding my essays and deepens the understanding of history. But I find that if I rely one ONLY one book for a subject my knowledge is sparse and very limited. Most of us do Direct learning or synpotic reading. I am going to the library on saturay from 9am to 6pm, wish me luck. =)
