I want to secure a 5 on the exam
So to be honest, it's mostly my fault, but lately, atleast the past 3 weeks, I been sort of procrastinating, and my grade in the class is still surprising like a 97 or 98, but ngl my teacher is generous with dropping assignments/tests/quizzes I got a bad score on for a good grade I got, like the lowest grade I got once was a 57, and of course it happened because I didn't study. But she also assigns a lot, and i mean a lot of homework, like she assigned 2 huge review packets this week, with a combined total of like 300 questions, though tbf, one of them, that has 200 questions, is a grand review that we do together in class, so I guess it isn't so bad. Anyway, that hasn't happened since like november or smth, and so far, my lowest grade has been on quizzes/tests, which is like 70s and 80s. Assigns pop quizzes and stuff, but ye.
Sorry I got off topic, but ye just wanted to provide context that I am doing pretty well in the class, but I feel like I'm going to bomb the exam. The vocab part is actually not that bad, and I have Anki as my trusty tool so that's good. But I always struggle with the application and real world example, and I saw u/EPICNESS2500's pinned post on how that's vital for the example. Well, how can I get good at this? Additionally, I struggle with the task verbs, like I still don't quite understand the difference between describe and explain, as well as explain to the degree of, explain how, explain why, identify, and compare. Like I sort of understand what they're asking, but don't know how to answer. Can you guys provide examples or help on such questions? Idk if there's anything else I need to have locked in for the exam, but yeah. I'm worried, as the exam is in less than 2 weeks, and we just started reviewing everything for the exam this week, as we had finished unit 7 last week. Just want that 5, or even a perfect score. Also, especially for the FRQs, I want to try being concise, as being concise helps you answer quicker and helps you be able to finish the exam on time, and my teacher said she knew a student who apparently got a perfect score on the FRQs with less than 20 words, like it's insane
Also any resources to help make sure I get a 5/perfect score? My teacher has let us use AMSCO, but I been using Princeton Review. How can I use them correctly, because I feel like I am not quite using them correctly, because sometimes I choose to read AMSCO, and other times I choose to read Princeton Review. any anki decks also? quizlet decks is great too, as I can just easily convert them into Anki Decks through a add-on
Sorry if this is a lot lol.
