-The exam will be in the Library and Library Lab (301). Since March 14 is a Friday Schedule, it will only be a 60 minute exam. It is a cumulative exam that covers the [[http://apcs.mathorama.com/index.php?n=Main.MagpieLab|Magpie Chat-bot Lab]], [[http://apcs.mathorama.com/index.php?n=Main.PictureLab|Picture Lab]], [[http://apcs.mathorama.com/index.php?n=Main.ElevensLab|Elevens Lab]], The Java Methods Book  and chapters 2 to 5 of the eimacs "Be Prepared for he AP Exam".  The 5 practice tests in your emacs account are an excellent way to prepare yourself.
+The exam on Friday May 19, 2023 is in Room 205.  It 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]]),
-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://secure-media.collegeboard.org/apc/ap_frq_computerscience_12.pdf| 2012]], [[https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/pdf/ap18-frq-computer-science-a.pdf?course=ap-computer-science-a|2018]],  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.
+It is a good idea to review the questions from [[https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/ap23-frq-comp-sci-a.pdf|2023 AP 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).
-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]].
+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]]
-Some elegant solutions to these are at [[http://www.skylit.com/beprepared/fr.html|Skylit]], the book publisher of our textbook.
+A good way to review the free response questions is to write solutions to the 2022 Exam (See the homework assignment for class 4-19 or 2022 FRQ1-4 in the Assignments section of Portals).  You may wish to watch [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7vsOEewGgE|this video]]
+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!
