Work with students to set goals around AP exam preparation
In addition to setting goals around exam score, teachers can work with students to set goals around how they will prepare for the exam (content partitions, hours utilized, modalities used– peer study groups, flash cards, etc). This helps students refocus on the process it takes to feel ready for the exam as well as the outcome.
