By now, students should have reviewed old units, completed practice tests, analyzed mistakes, and practiced on digital testing devices. The immediate pre-exam period requires an intensive study cycle: condense content using review videos and study guides, actively take notes for a 'personal summary sheet' focusing on confusing or easily forgotten concepts, practice with multiple-choice and free-response questions from CollegeBoard, and meticulously review mistakes, adding new insights to the summary sheet.

For the AP Statistics exam, prioritize confidence intervals, hypothesis testing steps, sampling methods and bias (especially for multiple-choice), and normal distributions, including calculating Z scores using a calculator.

During the Exam Strategies00:02:33

During the exam, remain calm and avoid rushing. Maintain morale by not dwelling on confusing questions; move on quickly and return later if possible. For multiple-choice questions, especially those related to meaning or interpretation, choose the answer that would best serve as evidence in an essay. For quantitative questions, use strategies like plugging in values or test cases. For free-response questions, always plan the structure of your answer beforehand, laying out step-by-step groundwork to avoid getting stuck.
