 AP Chemistry Exam Structure

3 HOURS

Assessment Overview

The annual AP Chemistry examinationis divided into two major sections (multi ple-choice questions and free response essays). The test has 60 multiple choice questions and 7 free response questions.

Section I, the multiple-choice portion, does not allow the use of a calculator, nor does it provide any additional reference material, other than a periodic table. 90 minutes are allotted for the completion of Section I. Section I covers the breadth of the curriculum.

Section II, the free response section, is divided into two sections:

Part A, 55 minutes, allows the use of calculators. Three problems. Concerns equilibrium related to solubility, acid and base, pressure/concentration.

Part B, 40 minutes, without the use of a calculator. Three problems.  The first question of Part B is a chemical equation question in which 3 scenarios are presented and the student is required to work all 3 scenarios, authoring a balanced net ionic chemical equation for each scenario and answer questions about the equations and scenarios.

AP biology exam prep class

Is your student ready for the essay portion of the AP Biology test?
The goal of SpringLight’s AP Biology Test Prep class is to supplement daily school work as students prepare for the AP Biology test.
Many students feel that they need more practice for the Free Response section of the test (which is 50% of the overall score!). Therefore, SpringLight’s test-prep class assigns weekly Free Response questions and provides each student with detailed, individual feedback.

Many schools neglect to consult the College Board website, teaching students either too little or too much information for the AP test.  Therefore, Spring Light’s test-prep class reviews only the essential material, but reviews it thoroughly.
Finally, Spring Light’s test-prep class provides weekly sets of practice AP-style multiple choice problems. Students have in-class opportunities to address questions regarding the practice problems.
In Spring Light’s test prep class, students will:
-complete several practice essays each week
-receive detailed, individual feedback on each essay
-thoroughly review textbook information essential for the AP test
-practice AP-style multiple choice questions organized by subject
 -complete several practice essays each week
AP Biology (5/11 test date) 2/21/15 to 5/9/15 5:00 to 7:00pm $750/12 sessions Saturdays

When?
Friday, 7:00 to 9:00pm, Nov. 7th, 2014 to Mar. 13th, 2015 (total 16 sessions. no class on Nov. 28th, Dec. 26 and Jan. 2)
Where?
1340 S De Anza Blvd. Suite 204, San Jose, CA 95129
For Whom?
This AIME course is aimed at those students with AMC 10/12 scores of 100+ to students who have scored around 5 on the AIME.
What?
This class will focus mostly on building strong basics in the four main pillars of Combinatorics, Number Theory, Geometry, and Algebra before moving on to general problem solving strategies and tips.  The goal is for students to obtain the mental agility required to tackle these complex problems and hopefully get them within and past range of qualification for the USAMO and USAJMO, or around 9 problems.
Organization
This course will be organized in the following three parts: Basics, Supplementals, Problem Solving Strategies.
Days 1-4: Combinatorics, Number Theory, Geometry, and Algebra
Days 5-12: Supplemental topics like trigonometry, some complex number methods, and graph theory will be covered with backing from the ArtOfProblemSolving books and other resources.
Days 13-16: The class will focus on how to target the mid-range problems of 6 to about 12 and what strategies are needed to get a handle and a good direction to start solving these problems.
Course Objectives
  1. Improve student scores by working on both fundamental theorems and ideas as well as problem solving strategies.
  2. Foster creative problem solving strategies
  3. Make the USA(J)MO!!!
How?
Focus on basic concepts and essential knowledge before moving on developing the skills and intuition to find and pursue good lines of attack for complex problems.
Homework
The instructor does not plan to give any official homework for the class, instead, students are expected to complete all of the previous 20+ AIME contests, which is over 60 hours of practice. He is open to questions on any previous AIME, and will be happy to go over “homework”. The reason for this is that many students have completed the previous AIME contests so they are not the best class materials, but they are still the best practice by far, and should be completed by anyone seriously considering passing the AIME.

 

Instructor: Andrew Cui
Andrew Cui is the top senior at Lynbrook High school  with experience teaching Mathcounts classes at Miller Middle and has done extensive tutoring through Lynbrook’s STARR program as well SpringLight.
In addition he has performed well on multiple math and science contests. He is also an officer of Lynbrook’s math club.

在当今科技高度发达的社会，新一代的年轻人成功的要素不再是记忆更多的知识和资讯，因为你永远不可能在这个方面超越电脑—-而是拥有电脑不具备的能力—-独立分析问题解决问题的能力，尤其是能够解决那些各种前所未遇的崭新问题的能力。
那么如何培养孩子的这方面的能力呢？通过解数学题来训练学生是个非常有效的方法。然而，在美国的基础数学教育中的这个方面的培养存在很大缺失。那么如何帮助孩子通过数学学习来训练分析问题、解决问题的能力呢？ Continue reading →

ACT考试将增加两个测量指标，并采用新的写作评分方法


Posted by echollege

大型考试的模式持续演变。继大学理事会三个月前揭开改革SAT考试的帷幕，她的对手美国大学考试公司（ACT Inc.），在周五宣布即将修改所主办的ACT考试。目前，ACT考试是全美最为广泛采用的大学入学考试。明年开始，ACT的考生将会收到更多关于入学准备和职业生涯规划的信息。
新的ACT考试结果将以“STEM分数” （对应考生在数学和科学方面的表现）以及“英语语言文化分数” （对应考生在英语阅读和学作部分的综合表现）呈现。考试还将增加两个新的指标：一个测量考生对于大学各类复杂文本内容的理解力；另一个评估考生职业生涯规划的成熟度，检测学生是否掌握了未来雇主所器重的各种技巧，比如应用数学和快速阅读的能力。评估基准源于过往同时参加ACT考试和Workkeys考试（检测职业技能）的学生的成绩。例如，伊利诺伊州和密歇根州都要求11年级的学生参加这两个考试。新的计分方式与评估指标都将作为学生整体分数的补充，仍然维持1至36个等级不变。
选考的写作部分也作了改变。目前，作文题目提示考生选取事件的正／反方进行论述。例如，可以赞成或者反对高中生统一穿校服的规定，任选其一。尽管新的写作指引还没有公布，但据ACT的发言人爱德华·科尔比（Edward R. Colby）称，新的指引将比现行的更全面细致。学生不再持“非黑即白”的立场，他们需要从各个可能的方面去分析，并阐述相应的论据支持。评分方法也不同了。现在是两个评审员对全文作整体评分，按1至6个等级打分，再将两个分数加总；即将转变为从四个方面进行打分：中心思想和分析、论据的展开与阐述、文章的结构以及语言应用。
ACT教育与职业发展部门主席乔恩·埃里克森（Jon Erickson）称，新的写作评分方法有利于学生扬长避短。但是，新的写作成绩未必能得到大学的青睐，因为大多数院校并不要求申请者提交写作的成绩。根据ACT的数据，如今仅有12%的院校要求申请者提供ACT的写作成绩，当中主要是大型学院。另外，多数报考ACT考试的学生也会选择写作文。今年就有52% 的高中毕业生参加了写作部分的考试。
目前共计有17个州将ACT考试作为州内评估项目的一部分，要求公立高中学生参加ACT考试。
乔恩·埃里克森（Jon Erickson）也表示，希望能够增加考试与学生、教师和咨询师的关联性，让大家更加认同考试结果所代表的意义。

30 years ago, it’s amazing that a youth could assemble a radio.

10 years ago, college admission officer would be impressed if a teen could assemble a computer.
Now, 3D comes to mainstream of the times. Let us help your child stranding in the front of times and learn more 3D software application and development.


Instructor Eli W. Admitted by Stanford.

  This year Stanford is undoubtedly the most difficult in the history of the admission. Why Eli can standout among others？！Over the past year， he has been developing a lot of  engineering and programming repertoire.  While, his 3D Printed Quadcopter project might help him to knock on the door of Stanford. Eli is profession in 3D Printer, and have a lot of achievements in this area.

This summer, Eli comes to SpringLight and lunch the 3D design and 3D printer class.

3D design class
Start date：total 10 hours start from the week 6/23/2014. total two weeks.

3D Design Course Description
This 2 week intensive workshop is designed to allow aspiring engineering students to have hands-on experience and training in 3D modelling. Students will be learning to use industry-standard Solidworks modelling software to create objects from everyday life, and will be able to gain a better understanding of mechanical engineering through use of the software. This is a good way to jump start students into both robotics programs in high school such as VEX, FTC, and FRC, as well as industry design. Students will also receive a 3D printed model of what they’ve chosen to model in the program at the end. The course requires knowledge of geometry.

3D printer class

7/12, 7/19, 7/26 three whole days (Only 6 students)

Tuition Fee: $600. (if you want to build your own 3D printer and bring home, please buy THIS and bring to the class)

Registration: CLICK HERE
This 5 week workshop is designed to allow aspiring makers and tech enthusiasts to have hands-on experience and training on 3D printers. Students will be engaging in building, tweaking, and maintaining a 3D printer, and may even take home their own 3D printer to take at the end of the workshop. This is a great opportunity to allow students who really would like to use and get familiar with 3D printing, but do not have the resources, to get the experience they would like. The course requires some knowledge of building and wiring. Some 3D modelling and programming experience is recommended.
