go to the library to look at practice books or purchase some. Take some of the practice tests (are they on the com now?, mine were on pencil/paper). Either way, take some practice tests under time conditions. These are standardized tests. Looking over the old tests enough should give you a strong idea of the types of questions that are typically emphasized from year to year. For example, I took a lot of science AP exams and I have never taken AP psych or history BUT... in chemistry you started to notice that most tests had a question on the gas laws or molar dilutions. Or in physics there was always one free response question on velocity, acceleration etc... If you do enough practice tests then perhaps some of these patterns will start to show up. Also go over things with your teacher and ask for help on important things you might be weak on. Also learn how you get points...sometimes even if I didn't remember any of the principles you could still get some points by drawing the diagram or setting up the problem correctly even if you don't get the right answer. It's not about being smart; it's about beating the test...learn how the points are given out!!

I would recommend you study the AP world history by each section, instead of as a whole. Yo can also have your parents or guardian quiz you section by section. Do this also for the AP psychology.

One word cram, study the parts where your weaknesses are. Study enough to retain the information but don't overdo it. Sleep enough and get a good breakfast.
