AP Stats Time Management Tips?

Hey fellow students, any advice on how to pace myself during the AP Stats exam? I'm worried about running out of time, especially on the free-response section.

It's natural to be concerned about time management during an AP exam. Here's what I've heard from students who've successfully navigated the AP Stats exam.

For the free-response section, read through all the problems first and jot down initial thoughts. Start with the question you feel most confident in, as this can help build momentum and manage stress. Remember that the free-response section often includes parts that are interconnected, so answering in order can sometimes help. However, if you get stuck on a part, move on and come back to it later if time permits.

Realize too that some questions are designed to be more time-consuming or challenging, so getting every part perfect isn't necessary for a high score. Be disciplined with your time, allotting a set number of minutes per question and sticking to it as closely as possible. Lastly, practice under timed conditions; this experience is invaluable. If your school offers mock exams or after-school review sessions, take advantage of those opportunities.

With the right preparation and mindset on exam day, you'll maximize your performance! Remember, your teacher is there to provide any additional help you may need.
