PRACTICE EXAMS
Seem Ms. Fortenberry for practice exams. I'd recommend taking one a week over the course of the six-week review program, but you really need to take at least 4 before the big exam day. Also be sure to look at a lot of released FRQs. To be ready, you should be getting "A"s on these by the time the test rolls around. If you're not getting "A"s yet, step up your game & study or do some more practice exams!!

Check out the hour long Cram for the Exam programs in the C-SPAN Video Library. They are done each year the weekend before the exam. Looking at past years is good for overall review. There will be another one this year where you can text, tweet, or call in with questions!
The LIVE 2015 Cram for the Exam will likely air on C-SPAN starting at approx. 8:15 am (Central) the Saturday before the AP exam. It'll probably show up on the program guide as Washington Journal... which is a political news call-in show. They will just switch over to "Cram for the exam" in the middle of the show. It usually lasts about an hour. You can text, tweet or call in with questions!! ... & when you do, don't forget to give a shout out to your class & teacher!
