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.
 
Multiple Choice answer Form:  (This form is on auto-email and you may just answer only part of the test.  The form will grade your blanks as wrong but you can still get answers graded for part of the test.)

 15.  100%  30.  64%  45.  29%
Last 2 MC Tests:
                                                 mean                        Sd           % to get 5   REds
 Practice Test 3   56.3%  7.08       78%      17
 Practice Test 4  58.6%           6.30       72%      16
*So Our average went up +2.3 and our Sd went down -.78. This means that the class answered more correctly and the class got statistically closer together in scores (smaller sd).
If you consider that the AP thinks that practice test 5 was a harder test than practice test 4
(needed a lower score to get a 5 for Test 4) then we really did better than the numbers show!
