MIDTERM!

STUDY! Of course the midterm is going to be a challenging test, and a stressful two hours...but it's also an excellent opportunity for us to see where we stand in our preparation for the AP exam! The midterm is essentially a mini practice exam, so it will give us valuable information to predict how you might do on the AP exam in May! Take it seriously, prepare yourself, and give your best effort next week!

It is absolutely essential that you STUDY. If you do not prepare yourself, you can likely expect a D or an F on the midterm! 

• There is an outline of all topics on the midterm exam under our classroom resources link.

• There is also a guide of "ways to study" under our classroom resources link!

• Or, check out this article: Here Are 6 Scientifically Proven Tips for Studying!

• Another idea to study is by using the review exercises in your textbook...these come at the end of each unit and provide miscellaneous practice problems for each unit; we covered unit (the textbook calls them parts) 1, 2, and 4. These reviews start on pages 130, 244, and 402. If you do the odd problems, you can find the answers in the back of the book

• Finally, another great way to study (maybe the best way?) is to try various released free response questions (from past AP exam). You can find ALL of these, along with the scoring rubrics, with this link: All Released AP Free Response and Scoring Guidelines (Answers)!

Also, remember that STAMPS ARE DUE ON THE DAY OF YOUR EXAM (or earlier)! 

• Same deal...count your stamps (double check), and write the total on the front
• Fasten your stamps together (somehow) with your name and the total on the front!
• If your total is incorrect, you will get a 0--so count twice!

See you all next week! Be ready to get an A! STUDY, STUDY, STUDY!


Oh, and one more thing...here are the answers to the practice multiple choice and open ended classwork problems we did today in class!
