My rating of this resource: ****

My experience using this resource:
Physics

Topic I was teaching:
Review of the Year (all Physics)

My learning goal for which this resource was used:
Students were to prepare for the final by practicing!

Course Level:
Honors or Advanced

How I/my students used the resource:
Students were assigned various problems from various tests and challenged to try them and then look up the answers. The tests were downloaded and placed in our class conference in their pdf form, so that I did not have to type in or print them out.

Value Added:
Provides practice or tutorial, Provides self-assessment opportunity

Strengths:
AP questions are good questions; many deal with simple numbers or only with equations and letters. They cover a wide variety of topics succintly. The addition of the answers allows students to really get a good idea how to go about answering the question.

Weaknesses:
Some questions fit our class topics and some did not. It requires some effort on the part of the teacher to go through them and determine which questions would be appropriate practice. it would be even nicer if the AP people would post more of these...
