Activity: Please take the practice AP Test in your AP Study guide if you have not already.  After you complete the test, including the FRQ or Free Response Questions at the end, share you score with me in the Google Classroom survey/quiz I posted yesterday.  It is really important to take the FRQ portion because it is what the actual AP Exam (as far as I know today) will look like.

Over the weekend I would like you to take the first practice test in the AP Study Guide book I gave to you a few weeks ago.  Their are two practice test.  Take the first one and please try to simulate a test taking environment.  Meaning, use a timer and find  quiet place.  Even though their will be no multiple choice it is important to take that part of the test to find out where your biggest gaps in knowledge are.  Once you are finished use the scoring rubric and share your score with me.  I will have something in the classroom for you to share your score with me and any questions or concerns you have.
