Review Site and EXTRA CREDIT Opportunity!

Peerwise is a pretty cool site to use for review.  You can post questions and answer and rate each others' questions.  The more it gets used, the better it will be.  There are some questions on there already left over from last year.  You can earn a little extra credit by posting your own question by November 30th!!! (directions below)
 
*Navigate to https://peerwise.cs.auckland.ac.nz
*If you are logging in for the first time, your identifier is your last name (unless you share a last name with someone else in AP GAP this year, in which case it's your first initial and last name a la SCavalluzzi) and our course number is 10997
*From there, it's pretty intuitive, but send me an email if you have any problems or questions!

Another Option For Practice Questions

By request in first period this morning, wanted to let you know that the district has bought a Shmoop subscription that will give you access to practice questions and other prep tips for AP classes, SAT, ACT, etc.  You can access it here: http://www.shmoop.com/login/pylusd/el-dorado-high-school-placentia-ca/ and create a student account using the magic word EQUIVOCAL.  
 
PLEASE be advised that their practice MC questions are SIMILAR to AP questions but they are NOT released AP questions, so their value is somewhat limited and you should not read too much into your performance on them.  Use them as an opportunity to review concepts rather than a gospel benchmark of your AP or unit exam readiness!! :)
