Problems

Q8 - Laptops being borrowed from a school library

  • My mistake was only selecting one answer when the question said there are multiple
  • This can be fixed by reviewing my work after completing the test

Q13 - old enough to drive but not to vote

  • My mistake was believing that the age could be greater than or equal to 16 when it was really just greater than 16
  • To fix this problem I should spend more time thinking through the logic of my answers before submitting them

Q28 - Robot in bottom right corner of grid

  • Once again my mistake was only selecting one answer when the question said there are multiple
  • This can be fixed by reviewing my work after completing the test and reading the directions more attentively

Q30 - use drawCircle to draw figure on a coordinate grid

  • Once again my mistake was only selecting one answer when the question said there are multiple
  • This can be fixed by reviewing my work after completing the test and reading the directions more attentively

Q42 - Car manufacturer simulations

  • this question had all options as correct, I did no think this was possible and because my knowledge of simulations is limited I only selected what I thought was correct
  • from this question I have learned that college board will make trick questions to throw you off, and you must carefully review directions to ensure the questions are correct

Q45 - Benefits of a heuristic solution

  • This problem asked questions about heuristic solutions which I am not entirely familiar with
  • to fix this in the future I will do more review by creating a list of all topics on the test and going over them extra times

Reflection

The results of this test were decent but still worse than expected, my biggest problem is that I do not spend enough time to review my answers and think through the logic of my choices twice. However, on the AP test I will need to be able to answer these questions quickly. To accomplish this I will need to spend extra time studying the course material so that when the AP test comes around I will already be familiar with the types of questions and topics.
