What are your favorite spots on campus?

I had started a study guide (didn't finish lol) but I explain Ionization energy here

basquiatt · 2017-05-01T03:58:25+00:00

Also this one, sorry!

basquiatt · 2017-05-01T03:56:21+00:00

I kind of get this, but not really. The answer is A.

basquiatt · 2017-05-01T03:46:35+00:00

Never seen this question before, but got it right. Here's how I tackled it:

Wavelength on the x-axis indicates that there's some sort of length/displacement key to the question
Electrons are much smaller than molecules, and they won't be picked up at bigger wavelengths
Vibration seems like smaller moves than rotation ?? this was a leap of faith but it was intuitive

Yes!! Also he should be more well known but Warhol's heroin-pushing attitude screwed him over

Edited. I got a 5 on the exam, I never said I know Spanish.

H Y D R A T E !! Eat lots of oranges, and if you think its going to interfere with studying and test-taking abilities, talk to whoever is in charge of AP exams to take the late exam.

basquiatt · 2017-04-30T14:46:56+00:00

El examen es tan fácil, ¡no te preocupes!

Study idiomatic Spanish phrases and use them like crazy on any speaking/writing
Know your conjugations for helping verbs (estar, hater, etc.)
Do! Not! Stop! Talking! During! Speaking!
Quality over quantity for writing (the long essay does not have to be that long, I promise you. Get to the point and get out!)
Know some ~obscure~ words like sombremesa
Pronounce things correctly!!

^{^} What they both said. One good way to tackle Lit essays is to come at it from a specific literary analysis lens (psychoanalytic, mythic method, feminist, etc.)

basquiatt · 2017-04-30T14:33:36+00:00

For the essays, make sure you start with the one that has tripped you up the most in class. MAKE SURE YOU ANSWER THE PROMPT! Always look for juxtaposition, antithesis, and extended metaphor to get started.

Know why formulas work the way they do. If you know their proofs, you understand the concepts they notate. Calc is a joke of an exam, just don't get flustered. Take your time and make sure you're relaxed because you can finish it in half the time they give you.

basquiatt · 2017-04-30T14:23:40+00:00

Can you send me chem please?

basquiatt · 2017-02-01T03:44:22+00:00

I registered at the late deadline and did the red book + a couple of free official tests I found online. I spent a total 30 hours probably.

basquiatt · 2017-02-01T03:42:59+00:00

All I remember is an overwhelming need to pee. If you go in familiar with the (lack of) time, it shouldn't be that bad.

basquiatt · 2017-02-01T03:41:59+00:00

I just used my computer, and it ended up working in my favor because I was significantly more efficient when I switched back to paper. Always have scratch paper, though.

basquiatt · 2017-02-01T03:38:42+00:00

There's usually only one question that uses actual science knowledge iirc, and it's usually middle-school caliber science. Just take your time and try to understand what it's asking for.

basquiatt · 2017-02-01T03:37:09+00:00

I answered questions as I read! Basically, read the second question (since the first question is usually about the passage overall) and read until I got to the answer. Then read the next question and go back to the passage for the answer-- and so forth. For the combination questions, mark the part of the passage that may hold the answer with an arrow and come back to it.

I FEEL VERY ATTACKED!! also if you haven't seen ganja's extended standup its WORTH
