AP
Yo, fools!
Awhile back (2011), I decided to try taking an online practice version of the AP Statistics exam. I think it went okay (I unfortunately didn’t record my exact final score on the multiple choice, ‘cause I’m a loser), but I decided to try it again because, you know, I’ve actually got a better background for it now.
Well, not the same practice test. I found a newer one (2010 I think?) on which there were fewer multiple choice questions but the questions were decidedly more difficult. This time I ended up getting 16/18 correct (I shouldn’t have missed one of the ones I did; I just completely blanked on how to do it, even though I’ve taught it in lab like 20 times).
Anyway. If you want to give it a shot, it’s located here!

So I finally finished the practice AP stats exam that I told you all about a week or so ago. I was going to do the whole thing, but the long answer section is, well, long (it would take a couple hours). So I just did the multiple choice section.
Because I only did the multiple choice, I can’t actually calculate what my final score would be. However, based on my multiple choice score, my probability of getting a 5 is about .80, while my probability of getting a 4 is about .19.
So it’s reassuring to know that the last four or so years I’ve spent studying statistics hasn’t left me in the mar of numerical ignorance.
Now I want to do factor analyses.

Haha, dude, I’m so going to take the practice AP statistics exam. We had absolutely nothing resembling any AP math/stats classes at Moscow High School (we had English and, I think, chemistry, but chem was only offered during Zero Hour so screw that) and I don’t know anybody who actually had AP stats as an option, so I don’t know exactly how “advanced” it gets.
Must resist looking through it until I decide to sit down and actually take it.
I’ll let you know how good/crappy I did once I actually sit down and do it.
