June College Application Workshop  for Juniors
____________________________________________


I want to extend best wishes to everyone for a strong finish to the school year.

To students beginning AP exams Monday, you've learned much this school year and I encourage you to spend the balance of your time focusing on review of what you know best.    

Being well rested can enhance your test-day performance.  
Enjoy this video by Cornell Psychologist, Dr. James Maas

Best of luck on your exams.   Remember, if one exam doesn't go well,  
keep your focus on the next scheduled exam.

Reminder: SATII subject test registration is still open for June 2017

A few last minute tips:
  • Reiterating: Cramming on your weaker topics is less effective than reinforcing the topics you know well.  
    You can become easily frustrated and waste valuable time trying to learn something new. 
    Use the time towards maintenance of your confidence of how much you know.
     
  • History exams - review your outlines for the finite number of anticipated short and long responses. (see grading rubrics below)
     
  • Science and math exams- review application of important formulae
     
  • If your teacher didn't share rubrics, you can Google grading rubrics and see previously graded exams.  This can be an eye-opener!  Here are a few of interest:



AP HUMAN GEOGRAPHY
 
 
  • Change your calculator batteries!   
    The display of bright vibrant digits is refreshing.
     
  • Pack high energy protein snacks and
    back-up pens and pencils for the long exam day.
     
  • IF YOU ARE ILL or your ALLERGIES are overwhelming on the day of your scheduled AP exam, do NOT take the exam.

It's Time for Reflections:  
YEAR-END EDUCATIONAL & COLLEGE PLANNING ASSESSMENT
As the end of the school year is within sight, I invite all students to reflect upon goals set in August.  Which of these were easily achievable?  Why?  What have you learned about yourself and how you approach learning and your time that works well and what will you change for the next academic year?

Parents, how have you changed as your student continues to develop their strengths?

At our end-of-year conference, we'll review your accomplishments both within and outside the classroom as well as identify opportunities for growth to realize personalized educational goals.
