<p>How do you study for the AP Statistics free response?
Can someone tell me what the order of the questions are?
For example, I know the AP Calculus test ALWAYS has atleast 1 question finding the area that two graphs create and ALWAYS has 1 question on various topics.</p>
<p>What is the AP Statistics Free Response like? How do you study for it? What is ESSENTIAL to it to rake in points?</p>
<p>I'm self-studying for the test so I have no outside/useful information regarding the test.
The multiple choice is self-explanatory but I don't know the little tricks to score well for the Free Response!
Please help!</p>
<p>There is 6 questions. 5 questions that you should spend an average of 13 minutes on. They will be questions that ask you to preform some inference or test possibly, set up or interpret experiments, or something else statistics based. </p>
<p>If it wants you to set up an experiment it will guide you a bit more (since if they let you have free reign its harder for the readers to grade) at least that is what my teacher said.</p>
<p>The 6th question asks you to extend your knowledge into something beyond what AP statistics covers, It is 25% of the multiple choice and you get 25 minutes to work on it.</p>
<p>Also all questions are 4 points. Remember if doing an inference test to go through all of the steps since that gives you points. Write out your equations even if they’re on the formula sheet. Answer all of the questions in complete sentences. Basically, use common sense and make it legible and they will like you. </p>
<p>They don’t deduct points for wrong answers, so if you get a wrong number and carry out the rest of the questions with it, you still get the points for doing the other parts right.</p>
<p>i read in one of the collegeboard official frq scoring guidelines that they took off a point for a student putting down normalcdf() and my teacher said no “ti-speak”. But definitely put the formula down for the problem and plug in the numbers and then do the rest in your caclualator</p>
<p>Also, I was wondering what the tips and tricks are to scoring well. Since I’m self-studying, I didn’t know until recently that I had to write down all the rules and stuff when I use certain types of tests. I also get confused on which tests to use, although I usually just go through a lot of the tests and see which numbers I have to plug in to see if I’m using the correct test.</p>
<p>It just feels like the stats test would be a lot easier if I knew what I was asked to do I do all the math right, but I end up getting low scores because I didn’t mention some information or something. For example, I’d think it’s common sense that the question says “this is approximately normal” but you still have to write “this is approximately normal…” to go on to answering the question. The repetition throws me off.</p>
<p>So how do you master the free response? What do you need to know?</p>
<p>And also, does anyone know how to grade the stats test?</p>
<p>Well for all of the tests you have to write:</p>
<p>1) Hypothesis
2) Conditions (most of the tests its normality, SRS, and independence - different for chi tests and slightly different between sample/proportions)
3) Calculations - state your test, write in the values and equation, preform the math on the calculator
4) Conclusions - use numbers</p>
I do all the math right, but I end up getting low scores because I didn’t mention some information or something. For example, I’d think it’s common sense that the question says “this is approximately normal” but you still have to write “this is approximately normal…” to go on to answering the question.
