My rating of this resource: ****

My experience using this resource:
Physics

Topic I was teaching:
Review for year (physics)

My learning goal for which this resource was used:
Students used these tests to practice for the final exam.

Course Level:
A.P., Honors or Advanced

How I/my students used the resource:
I downloaded the pdf files of both the questions and the solutions, then posted them on the class conference. I also included a list of questions I wanted the students to look at and try. Students could do the questions and look at the solutions to reveiw for the final exam.

Value Added:
Provides additional content, provides self-assessment

Strengths:
The AP tests have good questions that cover a large variety of physics principles. They come with simple math, or all variable math; they come with solutions so that the students can check their own work.

Weaknesses:
The tests cover a large range of material, much of which is not covered in my honors class. One needs to go through them and choose which questions to try before just handing them off to the students.
