-To prepare for the actual AP exam in May, we will be using several practice exams from the College Board in the next few months, starting with the Qtr 3 Exam. The AP exam in May will have two parts: Multiple choice (75 minutes) and Free Response (105 minutes), The last two classes of the quarter are short (a Friday schedule and an X schedule), so this quarter will be a little different, dividing an AP Practice exam into three parts. The Qtr 3 Exam is cumulative, just like the other quarter exams,

The Qtr 3 Exam is cumulative, just like the other quarter exams,  You will also be able to use the [[https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/ap/pdf/ap-computer-science-a-java-quick-reference_0.pdf|Java Quick Reference]] that the Colloge Board will provide for you in May.
 The Qtr 3 Exams 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]]), Like before, the test will be curved. The AP Exam usually awards a passing grade of 3 for 50% correct, a 4 for 65% correct, and a top score of 5 for 75% correct,  One way to think of it is an A is 3 correct for every incorrect, a B is 2 correct for every incorrect, and a C for 1 correct for every incorrect.
