These AP statistic test prep books will help make a difference in my student's learning because it will give them the opportunity to practice for the AP exam. Last year was our schools first year offering this course. We only had one student pass the exam. We offered the course but did not have the proper materials to prepare the students for what they would experience on the exam. With these books they will be able to practice the exams and get comfortable with how the problems are presented on the exam. Practice makes perfect. With these books we will get plenty of practice for the AP exam which gives our students college credit. This is huge for our students because it also saves them money when attending college. In addition, the chair I ordered is for the students as well. Every class I pick one student to teach the class a topic. When students are able to teach a topic it helps the master the subject. I give the student a desk and a chair so that they can really feel like the teacher. The current chair we have right now is one that was out for garbage day because of a broken wheel. I tried to cobble it together the best I could but it is still wobbly and a constant reminder that our school and students do not get the luxuries that other students who come from a higher socially economic area do. When we feel good about ourselves it makes up believe we can achieve anything!
