Always do your reading on time to prepare for quizzes. Take all the practice tests extremely seriously, don't just be lazy and skip through them knowing they won't be graded - this is likely the only practice you will have to prepare for the AP tests. Always try your hardest on the essays for the same reason.

Hockmuth is a very nice person but not a very responsible teacher. She takes forever to respond to emails, and she is somehow able to answer a yes/no question from a student using a very vague answer. She will likely take months to grade a single essay, while she keeps assigning them.
