<p>Hi,
AP Exams are coming up, and I'm going to be taking my first one, Statistics, in about two weeks, and honestly, I'm terrified. I'm a freshman, so I've never taken an AP exam before, and I'm still not sure about the format and such. Can anyone who's taken the exam before tell me a little bit more about the format and the type of stuff it focuses on?
Thanks!</p>
<p>*Review previous exams. Prioritize your free response answers by what subjects your are most comfortable at. (i.e. If #5 is a sure-fire significance test, then flip straight there and write it if you’re good at those).
*Scratch and claw for points. If you can’t get a step of a problem done, make ■■■■ up for it (i.e. call p=0.314159265 if you can’t actually find p) and continue on with the problem. The Stats exam doesn’t double dip.
*Find a nice calculator reference program. Download it.
*No longer is there a guessing penalty, so if you’re running out of MC time, do exactly that.</p>
