As the summer vacation of 2023 approaches, we receive constant phone calls from concerned parents regarding pre-learning for AP subjects. In an effort to provide some assistance to both worried parents and students, I would like to write a post about the importance of preparing for AP subjects and share some helpful tips.
What is an AP subject?
AP stands for Advanced Placement, which refers to a system where high school students can take college-level courses and earn credit by taking exams administered by the College Board. Many students start taking AP subjects from the 10th grade and receive benefits in terms of college admissions and opportunities based on their AP exam scores.
Should you consider preparing for AP subjects?
Difficulty of AP subjects:
The difficulty level of AP subjects varies for each student, but since they are equivalent to college-level courses, they can be challenging for students without a strong foundation. This is a reason why many students seek help even during the regular school term. Pre-learning can help build a solid foundation, making it much smoother to tackle AP subjects during the school term.
Language barrier:
Since AP subjects like math and science are studied in English for non-English native speakers, there can be a language barrier. By pre-learning, you can enhance your ability to comprehend subjects in English, making it easier to understand and improve your grades during the school term.
Time management:
Pre-learning allows for efficient time management. By dedicating your summer vacation to pre-learning, you can focus more on extracurricular activities during the school term, such as volunteering, clubs, and college application preparation.
Helpful tips for AP subject preparation:
Pre-learning AP subjects during the summer vacation is not just about studying the subjects in advance. It also helps students effectively manage their time. Especially for 12th-grade students who need to prepare for college admissions, focusing on writing essays and recommendation letters, pre-learning is crucial to secure time.
To ensure proper pre-learning for AP subjects, it is important to seek the assistance of experienced professionals. Pre-learning guided by experts with rich experience and know-how yields successful results.
For a successful pre-learning experience for AP subjects, student perseverance and self-directed learning are essential. We hope that the professional insights and strategies provided by Baeoom can greatly assist students in their summer vacation plans and wish them success in their AP pre-learning journey.
