Top 10 Tips for AP Calculus Students

1.
Always do your homework. Math is not a spectator sport. You cannot just watch
what your teacher does and expect to ace the test.

2.
Always do math in pencil. Regardless if it is a homework assignment or a test,
just do it in pencil. You are bound to make a mistake sooner or later.

3.
Read the directions carefully.

4.
When taking a test or quiz, do not rush. It is not a race. Teachers grade you on
how many questions you have answered correctly, not by the order of who turns
in their test.

5.
Always have a good attitude. Even if you are the one that hates everything about
math, do not get angry or frustrated at a problem. Your anger and frustration will
show in your work.

6.
Always show and check your work. Even if you used a calculator, just write
some work down at the very least.

7.
What you do to one side must be done to the other as well.

8.
Do not combine uncommon denominators.

9.
Do not divide by zero.

10.
Finally, enjoy and embrace math for now and beyond. Math is everywhere and
it will certainly not go away.
