Sophys: After a brief and awesome post-it note quiz on "The Storyteller" most of you are taking the Stranger/Death check-reading test. Yeah, yeah, two tests in one day is just mean, but that's how I roll. You will be fine! Post-it note quizzes are only five questions long (and are on actual Post-it brand stickynotes) and then the check-read test itself features 50 magical multiple choice and true/false questions that has never taken anyone longer than 35 minutes to answer. Students not testing are expected to read silently. Good times! Due to time constraints today we are skipping Author of the Day.
APees: Today is our first multiple-choice practice session; I will provide the scantrons and testing booklets, and you will provide the pencil and the brainpower. On the actual AP exam, you will have 60 minutes to complete 54 or 55 questions (it varies from year to year) and you are expected to answer 50% of them correctly to score a 3. I do not expect any of you to finish this test in our time allotted today. Do the best you can; we will go over the scoring and at least two of the passages tomorrow in class. You will earn ten points for your efforts regardless of your score.
