STUDY FOR YOUR MIDTERMS!
- This is a tough test--it's a practice AP exam!
- This is a great opportunity for us to project how we might do in May; take your preparation for this test as seriously as you'll take your prep for the AP exam!
- Midterm structure:
- 28 multiple choice = 50% of exam score
- 5 free response = 50% of exam score
- Exams will be scored roughly based on the same scoring as an AP exam!
- Your goal: earn at least 55% correct to earn a 3!
- Projected 5 = A, 4 = B, 3 = C, 2 = D, 1 = F for your exam
- What's on the midterm exam?
- How can I study for the exam?
- I have assigned a "Midterm Review" assignment in AP Classroom!
- Many of these questions have appeared on pasts quizzes and tests (it's hard to find unique ones because I use so many for our classroom assessments), but they're still great practice!
- First I would start by reviewing my notes; looking through to refresh my memory on vocab, formulas, and generally the "stuff we just have to remember" (I would read my notebook)
- Next I would look over each of the unit tests from past units; these tests summarize the majority of the main ideas/things we have to know from each unit
- Try to re-do any questions you got wrong!
- If you can't figure it out; take out your notebook, or use the AP Stats Guy, or any other resources you have to construct some learning!
- If I felt I wanted more of this type of review I would also look over some past quizzes
- Remember, all of our past tests/quizzes consisted of many AP free response and multiple choice--so this is the same level of difficulty you'll see on the midterm
- Now I would look over all of the review stamps we had this past week
- Then, I would go to the AP classroom assignment; I would try to complete some questions each day, rather than trying to sit down and do this all at once
- After finishing I would look at my results and go back to any questions I got wrong and try to figure out the solution
- Still need more practice?
- Use the links on the right!
- Don't forget about Khan Academy!
- If that's your style, Khan has an AP Stat aligned course with videos and practice--it's a great place to look!
- Be sure to enter the class code next to the link on the top right so I can see your progress (and so you're linked to our AP Stat class!)
