<p>AP exams are in a little over a month, so they're approaching. As a result, I'm organizing a mock AP-Exam testing thingy. Except not really. I have 8 exams to take, so I'm doing this for my own benefit, but if you guys agree to it. </p>
<p>Now, what do I mean by if you guys agree to it? I'm going to ask you all which AP exams you all have in May, then I will choose anywhere from the 5 to 10 most represented exams for this Mock AP Testing thing.</p>
<p>Now, what is a Mock-AP Testing session? By Friday of this week, I will cut you all off from telling me which AP tests you're taking; I need time to prepare of course. This thing will be composed of two sections:
1)Mock AP Exam test thingys
-I, and a few others, will help create the tests, which will be multiple choice and free response. I will make sure that questions used on these mock exams have been snatched from the collegeboard's testing materials. Now, I know you all are thinking, man, this is lame. Why would I want to take one of these college confidential AP test things? I don't even want to take the one in May. Well, I know that you won't want to take a Mock-AP test in your free time, but a common consensus is that taking practice AP tests is the most effective way to prepare for the AP exam, and I believe this to be true. These Mock AP tests will probably be roughly the same length, if not shorter, than the actual exam, and nothing will stop you from taking a break. Plus they're good practice. Word.
2)AP Question Rapid Fire
-After the mock AP exam thing's done, the next thing to do is reinforce. I will randomly post a series of questions from different subjects, which could be multiple choice and free response, or something out of the ordinary such as prove something or draw something. I don't know, I haven't worked the kinks out yet, but that's the geist of it.</p>
<p>Timeline:
Mar. 24-28: You give me your AP Exam list
Mar. 29-Apr. 3: Me and some other people work on compiling tests for each of the determined subjects. You all chill, or study, or eat a sandwich during this time. I don't care what you do.
Apr. 4-Apr. 13: You guys take these Mock AP Tests. I will be out of town on these days, which is actually very convenient, because now this is my chill/sandwich break.
Apr. 14-Apr. 20: I'll probably spend this week grading these exam thingies. If you want your scores by April 18th though, just send me an $8 fee and I'll see what I can do. (Kidding.)
Apr. 14-May 2: AP Question rapid fire review. Yes.
May 4: Final scoring should be complete by this time. More details in the scoring section.</p>
<p>Scoring:
AH yes, I promised details about this scoring thing here, didn't I? Well, here we go.
-Mock Exam Scoring: These will most likely be graded as a normal AP Exam is. Except, when you get these scores back, I'll also post answer keys and explanations, as well as provide you your scaled score and 1-5 score (since I know this is what you all want). Scaled Score will be used in determining your overall score, and will be a max score from 100-200 depending on the subject.
-Rapid Fire Scoring: Each type of question will be designated a point value. If you're the first person to post the right answer, you get those points. Fair enough? By the time this is over, there will probably be from 75-125 points in each subject
-Overall: I will most likely determine the AP Master of each subject by adding your Mock Exam Scaled Score with your Rapid Fire score. I might even get bored and convert these to another 1-5 score. Yay. More details will come though.</p>
<p>Needed:
Now, in order to do this, I need a couple things.
1)I need your cooperation. Posting an AP list is not travailing work. However, taking the mock exams might be. Try to find one to take the ones your testing for in May, so that I know that time on this is well spent for both me and every one else.
2)I need maybe 7 or 8, maybe more, volunteers to help me make questions and exams. If you've taken an exam in past year and you're still proficient at it, this might be a task that you could do. You'll mainly help create questions for the exam, compile an answer key (with explanations), and maybe grade a few. I'll probably take care of most of the grading. When I leave on the 4th, I'll need a couple people to take over and whatnot. I'll decide that when the time comes. Si'.</p>
<p>FAQ:
I don't have any yet, as nobody has asked any yet. And if anyone has asked any questions, they're clearly not frequent enough to be here yet. So there.</p>
<p>More details will be released whenever I feel like making them. What do you guys think of the idea? Also, start posting what exams you're taking in May, so I can get a feel as to which exams will be focused on for the duration of The AP Master session. Also, if you want to help me when the help is needed, let me know about that too.</p>
