 Results:
Practice 1 – Test (MC) DATA – (  13 students – ) –   62 % correct – 
Use this to judge the ones you got wrong. If you got the questions wrong that most of the class got wrong THAT is NOT as bad as getting ones wrong that MOST OF THE CLASS DID NOT!! Remember that these tests are designed so that you will GET Questions Incorrect so you must make sure you see every question.
 
mean =       (42.5 )  62% = class AP Grade 4  –   SD = 9.6
   
This means the average number of correct questions was  42.54 correct out of 69.
The standard deviation = 9.6  (how close the class scored together!)
 
 95% of the class scores +/- 2 SD =  in the range  23.3 –  61.7
 
You should see if the questions you got wrong are the same as most of the class below that is in red.
If you got questions wrong that most of the class got correct you need to really work through my video solutions to understand what you missed!

UPDATED NOW!
2019 – 2020 – Practice Test 2 – Results – 12 students
mean = 47.42  (47.42/69 = 68.7% =  class AP Grade 4 SD = 7.5
   
This means the average number of correct questions was 41 correct out of 69.
The standard deviation = 7.5 (how close the class scored together!)
 
95% of the class scores +/- 2 SD =  in the range  32. 4   –   62.4

Practice Test 3 (4th quarter -week 2 – 1st Graded Complete AP)
Started 4/14.
 
This test was done in class and was the first one that was completely graded.  It was an abbreviated form of a complete AP test. This was a released a AP Test that had 10 MC questions missing and 1 grid in question missing. 
Thus you should take 77 minutes (instead of 90 minutes) to complete the Part 1 (1.3 minutes x 58 questions = 75 minutes.)  Normally you have a 90 minutes to complete 69 questions:  90/69 = 1.3 minutes per question.
 
We completed the part 2 – free response of this test and you have a hard copy of the key for the free response.

What to Bring to the Exam Room

Bring No. 2 pencils for your multiple-choice answer sheet, pens with black or dark blue ink for completing areas on the exam booklet covers and for free-response questions in most exams, and your government-issued or school-issued photo I.D. Calculator!!

What Not to Bring to the Exam Room

Don’t bring any electronic equipment or communication devices, like cell phones, smartphones, tablets or anything else that can access the internet, any cameras or other photographic equipment, or even any watches that beep or have an alarm (or smartwatches). You may not have any food or drink in the exam room, including bottled water.
