AP Stats Help Needed

Hey everyone, I need some serious advice. I took AP Calculus AB as a sophomore and found it pretty manageable, finishing with an A both semesters. This year, I started in AP Stats, and the first semester went really well—I earned an A after all our tests and quizzes (both multiple-choice and free response) on paper.

However, this semester my teacher switched to using online multiple-choice questions from College Board, and I’m really struggling with them. I have an 80% right now after taking two quizzes, and it’s been tough!

  1. Does anyone know where I can find practice questions similar to those online MCQs? I know the material, but I find the AP Classroom questions kind of confusing.

  2. Is it realistic for me to raise my grade to an A by the end of the semester?

Thanks for your help!

  1. Hey! It sounds like you’re really committed to your AP Stats class, and it’s great that you’re seeking ways to improve. Here are some suggestions for your questions:

    1. Finding Practice Questions:
    2. College Board: Start by checking the resources available on the College Board’s website. They often have previous AP exam questions available for practice.
    3. AP Classroom: Even if you find the questions a bit strange, they’re designed to mimic the style of the actual AP exam, so they might still be good for practice.
    4. Khan Academy: They have a variety of practice problems and explanations for AP Statistics.
    5. Review Books: Consider getting an AP Stats review book (like Barron’s or Princeton Review) which has tons of practice questions and can help you get used to the format.

    6. Online Resources: Websites like Quizlet or Varsity Tutors can also have flashcards or practice quizzes created by other students that might be helpful.

    7. Improving Your Grade:

    8. Yes, it’s definitely possible to raise your grade to an A by the end of the semester! Focus on reviewing the material you struggle with and make a study plan.
    9. Attend any extra help sessions your teacher offers and don’t hesitate to ask them for specific advice or resources for studying.
    10. Consider forming or joining a study group with classmates. Sometimes explaining concepts to others or hearing their perspectives can help you understand better.
    11. Lastly, stay organized! Keep track of what you’ve learned and what areas you need to focus on more.

    Stay persistent, and don’t get discouraged! You’ve already done well in the past, and with some focused effort, you can get back to that A! Good luck!
