Hey there, WHAP warriors! It's that time of year when we have to begin thinking about how to prepare for the upcoming AP exam. We will be doing a TON of review in class. However, it is critical that you spend time outside of class studying if you want to earn a 3, 4, or 5. To that end, here are some helpful review resources. There are brief descriptions included for each so you can choose the ones that best target your areas that could use improvement. The ones we think are MOST valuable have an asterik (*) beside them. Most of these resources are free, but some require you to purchase them. Please understand that you are NOT required to purchase any outside materials, although we encourage you to if it's possible.
If you use any other resources that you find helpful, let us know and we can add it to the blog!

Essay Practice-we will be going over this in class Wednesday-Monday, but you will not get to work with all the prompts in class. You could use this power point to do extra practice at home.

***Teacher-Provided Review Packet
This is a helpful resource if you are unable to purchase your own review book. It contains a lot of content terms, graphics, and helpful ways to divide up the content of this course by time periods. Obviously, these files are very lengthy, so you can print what you need on your own printer or at the library, or you can choose to use these on electronic devices. These links will not work on a school computer due to the wikispace being blocked. However, you can access them on my CFISD teacher page by visiting the Cy Woods website and looking at the faculty page links.

***iScore5-available in the App Store
Great review resource designed for AP exams, but it costs about $5.
***Review Books
AP review books are incredibly helpful, if you have the resources to purchase one. However, the most popular one of previous years, the Princeton book, has NOT been updated to reflect the changes for the 2018 exam. If you already have one, that's ok because the content is the same! However, the details for the SAQ, LEQ, and DBQ have changed slightly. The only review books I could verify that had been updated are the ones made by AMSCO and Kaplan. Both are linked below.
