Following are AP topics that we have covered this year … WOW!!!

Congratulations for sticking it out this year! Now is the time to review
and put it all together.

Make sure you understand the topics listed below – go over

lectures/book/warm-up/quizzes to understand topics below. Then go
over practice exams (1998 and 2003 Actual Exams) and old AP FRQs.
Check out grovesite->AP FRQs and Solutions for the last several few
years of free response questions and scoring guidelines, in addition to
the solutions for 1998 and 2003 multiple choice questions. Also check
out grovesite->AP Review Notes for a number of review handouts.
