Week 1-2 Schedule: July 23 - August 3...

Taking AP Statistics for college credit

You can optionally choose to take AP Calculus BC for college credit. If you want college credit, there are two ways to get it:
1) by taking the AP Statistics Exam in May
2) by enrolling in one 1-semester, 3-credit Rio Salado course:
MAT206 Elements of Statistics

(You can take the AP exam *and* enroll in the Rio Salado class, choose only one of these options, or do neither and just take the course for high school math credit.)

AP Statistics Exam registration is done in late September/October and is done through your College Board account. All students are required to 'join' our class in their College Board account using a join code - we use the online College Board AP Classroom for some mandatory assignments and reviews. I will give the join codes and more about this soon in class. Then later, in September, students who wish to take the AP Statistics Exam can sign up for the exam through their College Board account (I will provide more details in class when we are closer to registration time).

Rio Salado registration occurs now, so if you want to take the course for Rio Salado Dual-Enrollment credit, you should start the process soon.

AP Review materials...

Topic Lists and Review:

Use the 'AP Statistics Course Review Study Guide' (which you can use on both parts of the final exam for the course) to review course topics:
You can use this on the course final exam but not on the AP Exam. This is also a great way to see an overview of all major topics to prep for the AP Exam...
