Q:  What topics are on the test?

A:  Here’s the official course description (link on top of the page).

Q:  Are students allowed 2 calculators during the test?

A:  Yes.

Q:  Are highlighters allowed during the test?

A:  No.  (ETS’ rationale:  it would make cheating easier.)

Q:  Are calculator memories cleared before the test?

A:  No. 

1. Here is the official policy.  This means that it is up to the teacher to discourage the typing of crib-notes into the calculator.  While this is not ideal, it is the best we have.  Especially given that some extra programs are allowed...
   

Q:  What extra programs are allowed?

A:  Any program that exists on another legal calculator.

1. •CatalogHelp, a handy program for the 83/84 is very helpful and legal.  It tells students what order to type in the variables into commands like normalcdf.
   

2. •Programs like t-inverse and chi-square goodness-of-fit are legal because they are on the 84+, but not on the 83
   

3. •There is a page with lots of great programs here.
   

4. •An article on AP Central is here.
   

Q:  What about the formula sheets?

A:  They are provided for the whole exam:  multiple choice and free response.

Q:  How do I get the old exams?

A:  The free response problems are online here.  The multiple choice questions must be purchased.

Q:  How can I see the FR questions by topic.

A:  AP Central has one, I have another.

Q:  What’s the scoop on the extra practice exam provided through the audit?

A:  It’s hard!  Use the cut-scores from the ’07 exam, or maybe even a little more generous!
