I will suggest some AP Review items to do for each weekend between now and the exam.
As a first suggestion for AP Review I suggest attempting one or both of the A1 and A2 Multiple Choice (MC) tests from the Litvin book. The A test (as opposed to the AB) has the same difficulty of question as the AB just on a smaller range of topics. The A exam basically covers everything except Data Structures, Big-Oh analysis, and the O(n*lg n) sorting algorithms.
You are all seniors and probably have your own test review strategies, but I suggest doing the following for starters:
1. Take the A1 multiple choice test untimed.
2. For questions that you feel you *should* know answer as you would in a test-taking situation.
3. If you come across a question that has a term or topic you’re unfamiliar with, research it right then, without looking at the answer key, to find the correct answer.
4. Once you finish, check your answers with the key.
5. Then repeat with the A2 test, but try to see if you can figure out the answers to questions you don’t know as you would on the test, and this time noting how long it takes you.
