Exam Review
The material found here is designed to help you review for the AP Exam. We will spend a week in April first going over old AP exams, discussing the questions and content covered. You will need to make a note of any material you do not feel comfortable with and add a comment on that to the review pages that are hung around the room. This is so I can be sure to cover that topic when we begin our review of the material the next.
The PDF of the Entire review book can be found here. The "guided viewing" section walks you through the crash course videos and helps you take notes along the way of key stuff.
I had planned on copying it in the next week, but that has been temporarily delayed with the COVID-19 school cancellations. I have posted a pdf of the whole book (I was unable to reconfigure based on the new CED from college board, but the only real change besides rearranging things is that hypnosis was dropped, so don't bother looking at that stuff.)Seriously, take a look at this thing. I have put a LOT of work into this over the years and it does help.
