Description:
This video shows you how to use Shmoop. It focuses on login info, how to salvage your password if you've gone brain dead from studying, and how to use the AP® Prep on Shmoop's AP® site. It also covers issues like how to use passes, how to make the most of Shmoop, and how to ace the AP test you've been dreading since signing up for the class. You don't want to study because it's boring, you say? No more, Shmooper. We bring the comic relief.
