The entire ‘course is divided into several review units that allow time for additional discussion in areas where students are still having difficulties. The unit packets allow students to work independently or in groups both in and out of class. The review includes review presentation of topics by students, individual and group work including discussions of past AP problems, review quizzes, and timed practice tests.
