This is our last week before the AP Test. No pressure, but this is the most important thing you will ever do!
I will not be in class on Monday…the plan is for you to take a Practice AP Test. Take 45 minutes to take the test on Scantrons. After the test, check your answers…feel free to talk about the answers among yourself. After that, I have 3 AP Free Response Questions. Have those done for homework. Remember, you only have 45 minutes to do the three problems. You might want to limit yourself to 45 minutes to see what it feels like.
Tuesday will be the last day we are all together. We will be talking about how to identify which type of problem we need to do (conservation of energy/momentum, kinematics, torque, etc…).
One suggestion that I might give would be to make flash cards for each of the equations we have (you don’t have to limit yourself to the equations on the equation sheet). On one side you could write (for example) “Torque and force equation“, on the other you could write “τ=rFsinθ, θ is the angle from the force to the radius, ignore if perpendicular force” This will help you remember the equations for the multiple choice section and save time on free response (you shouldn’t be looking at that equation sheet too often).
See you Tuesday!
