It is a good idea to review the Free Response questions from [[https://www.mathorama.com/wiki/doku.php?id=starter_code_for_old_ap_questions| past AP Exams]] and the Labs we have done throughout the year. There will be 45 minutes to answer 20 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]]

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]] and do the challenges at [[https://app.programiz.pro/community-challenges/challenge/java-empty-square-sequence/info?ref=dscb|Programiz.pro]].


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!
