Final Exam Review - Pre-Calculus PreAP
The semester is quickly coming to and end. The final exam counts as 25% of your semester average which gives it the same weight as a cycle grade. It is very important to begin early and prepare well for this comprehensive exam.
The final exam will consist of about 40 multiple choice questions which will account for 80% of your final exam score. The multiple choice section will be given during final exam week. Two AP style free response questions will count for 10% each (total 20%) and be given in class sometime during the week prior to final exam week. Using your notebook as a guide, you should review notes, examples, and homework for each section. Quizzes and exams should also be reviewed. The chapter reviews at the end of each chapter offer an excellent highlight of main ideas and topics covered.
