When I started as a teacher, my mentor teacher told me that there were five parts to the science lesson cycle: lecture, lab, practice, review, and exam. When I asked how to review, my mentor just kinda waved their hands in the air and said, “ya know… you review…. You do a review.”

*Begin blank staring*

Funny enough, as a teacher, I don’t remember EVER being taught what a review was, let alone how to review. So, let’s set the record straight. Check out my blog on reviews today.

I wish I were joking, but... AP Review Season is here.

To help you and your students prepare for the AP Exams, Pivot Interactives offers a variety of Pivot-made AP®️ Review activities. These problems are written in the style of the AP® free response questions. Each section is a separate FRQ problem.
