AP Calculus & AP Statistics Practice Exam
Date: Saturday, March 27, 2010
Time: 8:30 AM - 1:30 PM
Location: First Baptist Church in Agawam
Registration Deadline: Friday, March 19, 2010
Cost: $15 per student which includes materials and lunch

MATHWEST extends to you and your students an invitation to attend the AP Practice Exams sponsored by MATHWEST.  On Saturday, March 27th, well over 175 students in Western Massachusetts will take the AP Calculus or AP Statistics released exams to prepare for the actual tests by the College Board in May.

The session will allow students to take either the 2008 AP Calculus or 2007 AP Statistics exams in an appropriate and timed atmosphere.  Students will start the exam with the open response problems, followed by the multiple-choice sections.  This is done to allow time for the instructors to grade the open response problems while the multiple-choice sections are administered.  Following the exam, lunch will be served.  Before students leave, they will receive their graded test, a score, and a complete answer key.

Testing will take place in Agawam at the First Baptist Church on Main Street.  All AP mathematics students and their teachers in Western Massachusetts are invited to attend. The registration cost is $15 per student and will help to defray the expenses of the event, which includes materials and lunch for all participants. 

We have changed our policy for the 2010 testing. This year, students must be accompanied by a faculty member from their school.  It is our hope that the faculty member will assist with grading.  All teachers that attend will receive a gift certificate to Barnes and Noble for materials complements of MATHWEST.

The registration deadline for participating is Friday, March 19th.  At that time, a registration form for each student must be sent in, specifying the student’s school and exam they wish to take.  The registration fee or school purchase order must also be included with registrations.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Scott Trahan. He can be reached by email or at Agawam High School at 821-0530.
