AP STATS TESTERS information

Good morning,

This email contains two important pieces of information. One is from college board and pertains to submitting responses to the exam. There were issues across the country last week with students getting errors, or not being able to submit their answers. College board has a plan for this week in case that happens to use so please read the information below carefully. The second thing is an update from on of the STATS blogs we follow {this particular one is run by the man who did the college board ap statistics review videos - which I highly recommend you go back and watch this week to help you prepare for the exam}.

First: Information from College Board:

Dear Colleague, Today we reached the midway point of the two-week primary administration. We couldn't be more proud of the hundreds of thousands of students who showed up for the opportunity to claim the college credit they worked for all year, despite widespread school closures. Students have taken nearly 2.2 million AP® Exams, across 15 courses. After the first week of testing, our data show the vast majority of students successfully completed their exams. However, some students have encountered challenges submitting their responses, and we've been listening closely to each student, parent, or educator who reports a problem. Beginning Monday, May 18, we're changing processes to address some of these concerns. To help support your students during testing, please share the information below with them.

Submitting Exam Responses

We share the deep disappointment of students who were unable to submit responses.

• Beginning Monday, May 18, and continuing through the makeup window, there will be a backup email submission process for browser-based exams. • This option will only be available for students who were not able to submit in the standard process—and they must then email their responses immediately following their exam. • These students will see instructions about how to email their response on the page that says, "We Did Not Receive Your Response." The email address that appears on this page will be unique to each student. • Any student testing between May 18–22 who can't successfully upload their response through the exam platform or send it to us by email, will need to request a makeup exam. • To protect the security and validity of exams, we're unable to accept submissions from students who tested May 11–15. However, these students can feel confident that the email option will be in place for them during the makeup exams. • Email submissions will not be available for the World Language exams.

Setting Up Your Students for Success

Given the wide variety of devices, browsers, and connectivity solutions students have access to, we're unable to prevent every possible local error from occurring during the exam. In advance of the administration, we created a testing guide, Exam demo, and test day checklist to help students avoid potential issues. It's important that students review this information and know to:

• Locate their e-ticket, which is emailed two days before each exam • Use a recommended browser, update it to the latest version, and disable plugins • Keep an eye on the time and begin their submission at the 5-minute mark

Additional tips to help your students succeed are available here. Students taking World Language and Culture exams, which begin on Monday, May 18, must:

• Download the free AP World Languages Exam App (WLEA) • Set their device to “Do Not Disturb” • Check to ensure they have enough storage on their device

World Language students should also watch the exam walk-through video, and check our website for more guidance. Thank you for all you continue to do to support your students during this challenging time. With gratitude, Advanced Placement Program Second: Information from STATS blog - now this is not inside information just his predictions for what he thinks could be on the exam and cover all the topics that need to be covered. For Calc each question had at least 7 parts and took most students the entire testing time and then some still did not finish, so he could be off in how many parts he sees for each question. Here is a direct link to the blog: https://www.statsmedic.com/post/predictions-for-the-2020-ap-statistics-exam We will be offering a teams review on Wednesday at 10am. If you would like to join send one of us an email. Mrs. Straub and Mr. Halstead

5/6 to 5/15 Final push

Good evening,

I hope you all are doing well. It is hard to believe but we are in the home stretch. This is your last week and a half of assignments and  you have finished AP STATS! Way to go. Any missing work from the quarter you owe me, including discussion questions which some of you have been ignoring, on schoology needs to get turned in as your last day will be here before we know it.  (makes me sad inside!)  Remember you must have a 60% in the quarter to achieve a pass for the quarter and hence then pass the course for the year.   If you do not receive that 60% you will receive an incomplete and then have to make that up before credit for the course is achieved.

Answer keys for last weeks book work and FRAPPY and are in the answer key folder on schoology. Be sure to check you answers and let me know if you have any questions. I have included in this weeks folder a link to the pink packet with formulas and tables, a top 10 list for the AP stats exam, a link to a video on reading a mini tab, and a review for all of chapters 1-10.

This week we will focus on reviewing all concepts taught in the course. In the materials folder on schoology there is a folder called study materials. If you have not already printed these now might be a good time as they can help you with the assignments this week and next week.

1. Complete the FRAPPY practice packet emaiedl to Mr. Halstead or uploaded to schoology{Straub} by 5/12 at 5PM. Do these two problems like you will on the AP test with notes, formula packet, and calculator.  Upload the to schooloy.  You can send them to me in PDF, but remember the AP exam is not going to accept PDF so make sure you can send in .png, .jpg, .jpeg. format 1 picture per page up to 5 pages per problem.  Remember you will have to download them to your device and attach them to the problem in 5 minutes so practice, practice, practice: FRAPPY Practice

2. Extra Credit: Complete the 2020 Mock exam emailed to Mr. Halstead or uploaded to schoology{Straub} by 5/15 at 5PM.  Do these two problems like you will on the AP test with notes, formula packet, and calculator.  Upload the to schooloy.  You can send them to me in PDF, but remember the AP exam is not going to accept PDF so make sure you can send in .png, .jpg, .jpeg. format 1 picture per page up to 5 pages per problem.  Remember you will have to download them to your device and attach them to the problem in 5 minutes so practice, practice, practice: 2020 Mock exam 

3. There are three discussion questions about College board and taking the AP exam. Complete these discussion questions by 5/12 at 5PM. If you are not taking the AP Exam you can email me and I will excuse you from those discussion questions. If you do not email me that you are not taking the AP Stats test then you are expected to complete all three discussion questions.

Mr. Halstead and I will be running a review session via Microsoft teams on Monday 5/11 at 12:30 for anyone who would like to go over the practice test FRAPPYs the were due on 5/5. If you would like to attend you will need to email me so you can get an invite to the meeting.

We will run another review session for the Practice FRAPPYs due 5/12 and the 2020 Mock exam due 5/15 on Wednesday 5/20 at 12:30. If you would like to attend you will need to email me so you can get an invite to the meeting.

4/29-5/5 Review of material

Good evening,

We hope you all are doing well. It is hard to believe but we are in the home stretch. You guys only have one more week of assignments after this week and you have finished AP STATS! Way to go. Any missing work from the quarter you owe us, including discussion questions which some of you have been ignoring, on schoology needs to get turned in as your last day will be here before we know it.  (makes us sad inside!)  Remember you must have a 60% in the quarter to achieve a pass for the quarter and hence then pass the course for the year.   If you do not receive that 60% you will receive an incomplete and then have to make that up before credit for the course is achieved.

This week we will focus on reviewing all concepts taught in the course.

1. Complete the FRAPPY practice packet. Due 5/5 at 5 PM. You can put your answers on the same sheet as what you print out if they fit or you can do them on separate sheets of paper and send that.  If you are taking the AP test I highly suggest you find some PDF convert like genius scan and practice downloading the problems.  You will only have 5 minutes to do this for each problem on the exam on the 22^nd.
