Lesson Comments
Trevor worked on some sample Free Response questions today. I told him that he though he doesn't know everything, he has the ability to pass if he is very thorough in answering the questions on the material that he does know (something he has not done throughout the year). The AP graders expect very specific information on the Free Response questions. I wish that we had more time for review, but hopefully he will do his best.
