Hey guys and gals. Sorry I missed today; I just woke up and wasn't feeling any better than yesterday--not good. To be honest, I think there are some benefits to you being on your own for review today, as you worked on the mock AP MC exam without me, more like the actual test. We'll discuss where we go from there tomorrow.
I'm very sorry for not being there to review today. I'm more than willing to stick around for as long as you like tomorrow afternoon. And more importantly, don't forget you have the Saturday session which will be a HUGE help, as well as review Monday. Monday after school we'll do the 2008 free response, talk about test taking tips, and get ready.
When you have your own time, use those review guides to study. They're a huge help. This is the last big hoorah for AP Stats. I only ask that you give it 150% effort, and then I'll give you a little time to recouperate from the big day.

Homework (all week)
5 more classes....
All week we'll be reviewing various topics--here's the rough outline, though it's definitely subject to change.
Monday: Probability
Tuesday: Regression
Wednesday: Experimental Design
Thursday: Inference
Friday: the graphing calculator/formula sheet/test taking tips
Monday: Descriptive Statistics
There will also be some after school reviews--I've got some topics in mind each day, but of course I can answer/review any questions/topics you so choose.
Wednesday (after school): More probability, regression, and experiments
Thursdsay (after school): Chi-Squared and other tests
Monday (after school--we'll eat pizza if you come!): reviewing our practice exam
Each night this week you will have a multiple choice problem set, ranging anywhere from 5 - 12 questions. Each question will be worth 2 points. That means you have some serious grading going on this week as we prepare. Focus!
We'll also have a mock exam for homework this weekend.
I know I may sound pretty intense right now, but it's gotta happen. I'm going to be a little crazy and push you guys through May 5th. After that, we'll recoup, and then start talking about any mathematics you're interested in. I'm pretty pumped about it.

April Vacation! And then the AP Exam!
I cannot believe that in a few hours I'll be teaching you the last day of new content in our class. We've learned quite a bit of math this year...now it's gametime.
Over break, your homework is to relax. Have fun, and rejuvenate your brains. Once you return, we have to focus. We'll review for that entire week, as well as the following Monday. There will be two after school reviews--one the Thursday after break for sure, and I'm thinking one the Monday before the test--but feel free to throw out any better ideas. At the review Monday I'll grab some pizzas and we'll study it up. Also, you have the Saturday review May 2nd, which is an incredible opportunity for you to study.
If that's not quite enough to fill your AP Stat needs, don't forget the resources you have. Within the links on the right are some good sites--one allows you to play some simple games reviewing vocabulary and such, one site gives a sort-of cliffs notes of each section, and so on. And in the back of your paperback AP review guides there are 4 mock exams, MC and free-response, with the answers. Look at those.
This is an important test. You could save yourself some study hours, some cash, and/or some time in a math class with a solid score. Plus, then you can brag about it b/c you just aced a pretty tough math exam. If we all do well, then we can collectively brag for EHHS too--and that'd be pretty sweet.
Enjoy your vacation.

Grades
Yo yo. Grades for the third quarter are up. Turns out your stamps inflated your grades far more than I expected, but it's all good...you guys have earned every single point you've gotten this year. I appreciate you all working hard and busting it over the past few months, it's really shown. I'm truly proud of each and every one of you as individuals, and also proud to say that we collectively represent the EHHS AP Statistics program. Keep it up--only one more month 'til that exam!
