-The exam will be in the Library and Library Lab (301). Since May 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://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).
-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. 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.
+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!
