The exam  is a cumulative exam that covers the entire course from the summer assignment until Unit 10 of the College Board's Course and Exam Description ([[https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/pdf/ap-computer-science-a-course-and-exam-description.pdf?course=ap-computer-science-a|CED]]),

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 [[https://runestone.academy|Chapter 13 of Runestone SFHSJava]]

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]].


Some elegant solutions to OLD AP FRQ's are at [[http://www.skylit.com/beprepared/fr.html|Skylit]], the book publisher of our textbook. 
Good Luck!
