SAMPLE QUESTIONS

PRACTICE EXAM

It is strongly recommended that you take the AP Exam. Please understand that opting out of the exam makes this a 4.5 level class instead of 5 (as opposed to a traditional 4 point scale for college prep courses).

Note: If you choose not to take the exam, you are still expected to study, prepare and participate as though you are. It will never be appropriate to expect that you will be able to conduct yourself any differently from those taking the exam. In other words, it doesn’t make sense for you to sign up for this course and then not take it.
