-It is a good idea to review the questions and the other Labs we have done throughout the year. There will be 60 minutes to answer 24 multiple choice questions, and 20 minutes to answer 1 free response question.   (the exam category is worth 20% of your grade, and is the last chance to do better than your Qtr 3 Exam in this category).
+It is a good idea to review the Free Response questions from the 2024 Exam and the other Labs we have done throughout the year. There will be 30 minutes to answer 12 multiple choice questions, and 45 minutes to answer 2 free response questions.   (the exam category is worth 20% of your grade, and is the last chance to improve the Exam category.  Right now, your Qtr 3 Exam score is accounting for 20% of your grade).
-A good way to review the multiple choice is reviewing Questions from previous Progress checks at [[https://myap.collegeboard.org| AP Classroom]], and previous Chapter Tests (this year they were returned by e-mail) or  [[https://csawesome.runestone.academy/runestone/books/published/csawesome/index.html#google_vignette|Chapter 13 of Java2020-SFHS]]
+A good way to review the multiple choice is reviewing Questions from previous Progress checks at [[https://myap.collegeboard.org| AP Classroom]], and [[https://runestone.academy|Chapter 13 of Runestone SFHSJava]]
-A good way to review the free response questions is [[https://mathorama.com/wiki/doku.php?id=starter_code_for_old_ap_questions|past AP Questions @mathorama]] like we have been doing in class and homework, or [[https://csawesome.runestone.academy/runestone/books/published/csawesome/index.html#google_vignette|Chapter 14-15 of Java2020-SFHS]].  Don't forget that you don't need a computer to practice writing code at [[http://codingbat.cs.vt.edu/codingbat/java|javabat.com]].
+A good way to review the free response questions is to write solutions to the 2024 Exam (See links for class 4-17 for links to the questions and some videos with suggested solutions).
+There are other FRQ questions in [[https://runestone.academy/ns/books/published/Java2021-SFHS/index.htmle|Chapter 14-15 of Java2021-SFHS]].  Don't forget that you don't need a computer to practice writing code at [[http://codingbat.cs.vt.edu/codingbat/java|javabat.com]].

-Another good way to review the free response questions is [[https://mathorama.com/wiki/doku.php?id=starter_code_for_old_ap_questions|past AP Questions]] like [[http://apcs.mathorama.com/index.php?n=Main.APQuestionScrambleWord|ScrambleWord]], the homework problems from [[https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-computer-science-a/exam/past-exam-questions?course=ap-computer-science-a|Past AP Exams]], [[https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/pdf/ap21-frq-computer-science-a.pdf?course=ap-computer-science-a|2021]],  and the others from [[https://mathorama.com/wiki/doku.php?id=starter_code_for_old_ap_questions|past years]].
-Yet another good way to review the multiple choice is [[https://codingbat.com/java]] and to  go back and review the multiple choice questions at [[http://eimacs.com]] and statements written in bold print in the text.  To review the free response, be sure to consult the [[http://apcs.mathorama.com/index.php?n=Main.StudyGuideForChapter2|Chapter 2 Study Guide]] and the  [[http://apcs.mathorama.com/index.php?n=Main.StudyGuideForChapter3|Chapter 3 Study Guide]].  Don't forget that you don't need a computer to practice writing code at [[http://codingbat.cs.vt.edu/codingbat/java|javabat.com]].  The free response will emphasize writing methods that deal with int, double, and String and arrays of int, double, and String that might need a loop, as well as making classes and implementing interfaces.  Practice writing loops, methods, and class declarations like the ones mentioned on the [[http://apcs.mathorama.com/index.php?n=Main.StudyGuideForChapter2|Chapter 2 Study Guide]], [[http://apcs.mathorama.com/index.php?n=Main.Semester1FinalStudyGuide|Semester 1 Study Guide]]  and [[http://codingbat.cs.vt.edu/codingbat/java| javabat]] exercises.
-The College Board has posted free response questions for you to practice with [[http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/exam/exam_information/2000.html|here]].
-Some elegant solutions to these are at [[http://www.skylit.com/beprepared/fr.html|Skylit]], the book publisher of our textbook. If your overall Practice Exam is better then the score on this exam, you will receive the the Practice Exam score for the score of your Semester 2 Exam.
 Good Luck!
