AP Exam Review

Below you will find the schedule for the weekly AP Review.  I expect that all students taking this course are signed up for the AP Calculus Exam scheduled for Wednesday, May 7, 2008.  Your responsibility on each review day is
  • to have reviewed the Study Subject for the day by perhaps skimming the relevant sections in the textbook and working the assigned problems
  • to be prepared for a 25-30 minute quiz over that topic.  If you are absent during one of our review quizzes, you will be required to take a make-up quiz in the Math Testing Center (room 820) when you return to school. Make up quizzes must be done before the next review day.

Some good sources of review problems include be old tests from the year.  If you would like a copy of an old test just see me and I can provide one for you.  Another good source is the worked out problems on www.calculus.org.  There are other links below which you also might find to be useful.  If you happen to find any helpful links then please share them with me and the class. I'll be giving out more review problems the closer we get to the AP exam.
