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]]),

It is a good idea to review the questions from [[https://mathorama.com/wiki/doku.php?id=2023_frq_s|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). 

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 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!
