<p>anyone hear anything about it? which book is best to use, when should i start studying, etc.? lol.</p>

<p>also, are we allowed to use a TI-89 on it? aka the note-folios? or is that just, like, completely considered cheating?</p>

2

<p>Yes you can use TI on the section with calculators. I’d use Barrons for the prep and for the book I’ll let you know when I get my stats book from my room.</p>

<p>Edit: The book is called The Practice of Statistics by Daniel Yates.</p>

3

<p>easy. Practice of Statistics as a textbook. idk.</p>

<p>yeah. cheating is a bad thing. besides equation sheets given during mc and frq.</p>

<p>I’m self-studying off of Barrons exclusively as a self-studied AP subject. Depending on how comfortable you are with the material, and taking into consideration the number of other exams you need to study for, when you decide to start reviewing is up to you, although the sooner the better.</p>

5

<p>cool, cool. so, there’s a non-calculator section, then? :o</p>

6

<p>no, there’s no calculator section.</p>

7

<p>wait…what? you’re saying you’re not allowed an 89 for any of it? -_-</p>

8

<p>No, the opposite. You’re allowed an 89 for all of it (although you aren’t supposed to just upload your textbook or something stupid like that).</p>

9

<p>Do they check and reset your calculator before you take the test? And you can bring two calculators (scientific and graphing) right?</p>

10

<p>opps, sorry. I suppose to say “non-calculator.” I forgot to put the “non-.” sorry for the miscommunication. Basically you can use your graphing calculator on both MC and FRQ.</p>

11

<p>

</p>

<p>Not usually, no. But then again, all of the stuff that you’d get from a quick read of the textbook is programmed into most graphing calculators.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

12

<p>oOo, great to know. i have a little note-folio folder for each chapter, so that will come in handy :]</p>

<p>"Students who utilizegraphing calculators on the exam should be aware of the following policy.</p>

<p>It is not only inappropriate, but unethical, for students who are taking the
AP Statistics Exam to have access to any information in their graphing calculators
or elsewhere that is not directly related to upgrading the statistical functionality
of older graphing calculators to make them comparable to statistical features
found on newer models.
During the exam, students are not permitted to have access to any information in
their graphing calculators or elsewhere that is not directly related to upgrading
the statistical functionality of older graphing calculators to make them comparable
to statistical features found on newer models.</p>

<p>Acceptable upgrades include improving the calculator’s computational functionalities
and/or graphical functionalities for data that students key into the calculator
while taking the exam.</p>

<p>Unacceptable enhancements include, but are not limited to, keying or scanning
text or response templates into the calculator. Students attempting to augment
the capabilities of their graphing calculators in any way other than for the purpose
of upgrading features, as described above, will be considered to be cheating on
the exam." - AP Statistics Course Description</p>

<p>In other words, you’ll be cheating if you use that note-folio on the exam.</p>
