Advanced Placement* Exam Reviews

Beginning In early March, Wisconsin Virtual School (WVS) and its online partner, Aventa Learning, offer FREE Exam Reviews in 14 subjects.

The Aventa Learning Advanced Placement* Review provides quality review strategies and resources to help AP students earn their highest possible score on the Advanced Placement exam. Students in 14 AP classes use the Aventa Learning exam review to focus their preparation, identify areas of weakness, and complete their final preparations.

Benefits of AP* EXAM REVIEW

Even a well designed and taught AP course may not be enough to prepare the student for the rigor of this exam. That is why many successful students participate in a test preparation activity in addition to their course work. This review increases student confidence and the chance that students will earn that passing score that benefits the student and the school program.

Schools today are under increasing pressure to increase performance for all students, from at-risk to high achieving. Too often the needs of the high achieving students are neglected, and they do not reach their full potential. Studies indicate that increasing achievement in Advanced Placement helps lift the overall achievement of the entire school.

For students, success on the AP exam helps them succeed in college. Students who have completed an AP course successfully are more likely to be successful in college, and passing scores may bring instant college credit to deserving students.

HOW DOES AN AP* EXAM REVIEW WORK?

In the Aventa Learning AP Exam Review classes, students are given successful strategies for review and for taking the test itself. They also get high quality test preparation materials and course content. Students test themselves both to practice for the exam and to diagnose areas of weakness. Once they have discovered those weaknesses, they have immediate access to high quality online content they can review. Rather than go through the entire course, they can pick out the parts they need the most. This individualizes the program for each student.

To help students visualize quality responses on free response questions, the scoring system is explained, and students practice grading sample student responses themselves. They then compare their scores with the score a professional would have given it. This helps them understand exactly what kind of work they need to do to gain the maximum score possible. What if they need help? Expert AP Teachers are standing by, ready to answer those troubling questions and help guide the student through the material. There is a toll-free technical support number as well.
