Tomorrow, tomorrow....

**Be sure to BRING A CALCULATOR to tomorrow's exam! Borrow one from a friend or a teacher--I do not have enough to supply every person who usually borrows one!**

We have spent our entire year working to prepare for tomorrow's exam. We have learned a lot, grown quite a bit, and pushed ourselves to continually improve. I have been tough on you, been a jerk at times, and consistently challenged you to do better--I appreciate all of your hard work and am proud of all that we have accomplished as an AP Stat cohort this year. I have the utmost confidence that each and every one of you can earn at least a 40% on the exam--and that means no ones! I have equal confidence that, if we put in the work to prepare for the exam (tonight),. we can surpass the national % of "qualifying scores" (3,4,5) on this exam! 

Today/tonight is about one thing, and one thing only--PREPARATION. STUDYING. Prepare yourself to do YOUR best tomorrow and to earn the best score you possibly can. (And maybe earn some college credit, and a little money, and most importantly, the satisfaction of knowing you're a top AP Stat student in the nation).

And tomorrow is also only about one thing--doing your best. Rest up tonight, eat breakfast, and come tomorrow with maximum focus, ready to give your absolute best. NO BLANK QUESTIONS. NO HEADS DOWN. Use all of your time, and even if you aren't sure exactly how to answer something, try...come up with some idea and do your best to answer the question being asked. 

Periods A/D: We do have class tomorrow. Come ready to do a little last minute studying and I can answer any lingering/last mintue questions.

How else can I study for the exam (TOMORROW!!)?
  1. The best thing you can do to prepare is try practice exams.
    • Think link below has copies of multiple "official" practice exams created by the college board--these are the most authentic practice tests you can find, and these are the best way you can study. Thanks for this Morphy!
    • The only catch is that you can't print them--no big deal, just do all your work neatly on separate paper!
    • It's not only important to do the practice test, it's just as important to then score it!
    • We'll use some of these multiple choice questions in our review on Tuesday/Wednesday.
  2. Do all of your "suggested homework!"
    • Another option is to complete all of those extra problems you got in class! 
    • All of the answers are posted on the blog--just look at the past blog posts
      • Tuesday = all probability stuff (questions also on Monday's post)
      • Wednesday = Sampling Distributions packet
      • Thursday = Random Variables and Probability packet
    • Scroll through the previous blog posts for more info/answer keys/etc.
  3. Work through the (many) extra free response you had on the back of past homework assignments! 
    • Each time we had a free response to complete/score for homework there was an extra problem on the back! Do those--there are some really good ones!
  4. Do more released free response! Use the link above (or below again) to find EVERY released free response question from past exams!
  5. Type up an outline of your notes or review your past notes!
    • Use the outline in yesterday's post to make a giant study guide covering those topics...
    • Maybe make flash cards for vocabulary or for our "writing templates"
      • Make the flash cards on "Quizlet" and share them with classmates--work together!
    • Look at the table outlining our tests/intervals in the blog post below--copy this down onto your own blank paper (writing stuff helps you remember it)! Add in the formulas and add in any other notes you find helpful!
  6. Did I mention practice exams?
