Social Studies teacher Steve Klawiter will have his AP World History class take the digital exam this May. He said he looks forward to seeing how his students will perform on the exam. “Its been very clear theyre moving towards digital. Since the pandemic started, theyve been putting the pieces in place to go digital, Klawiter said. “I think that ultimately it’s going to be more beneficial because with systems like Canvas and Google Classroom, students are used to more digital activities and less handwriting activities.” 
Nine AP exams will transition to digital format in 2025, additional six in 2026

Hot Link: Seven sites for studying, one per class

If you’re having trouble with cramming for finals, look no further.  It can be tough to find a way to organize information, but The Image has compiled ten websites to ease the process.

www.quizlet.com
Quizlet is a helpful website which, in addition to offering free online flashcards, has such features as “Learn,” a mode where you have to type in the definition when prompted with the term, “Space Race,” where it’s a race against the clock to remember the information, “Test,” which generates a multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, or true-false test, with as many questions as desired.  Entering all your information into Quizlet is an easy way to memorize vocab and help others studying for foreign language or history exams.

www.quia.com
It’s practically impossible to get a Rockwood education without having at least once heard of Quia.  Quia is a great site because if you just search for the material you are trying to review, you are sure to come up with an interesting interactive activity to practice with.  Whether it is a math final, or a language arts final, or anything in between, Quia is pretty much a one-stop-shop to studying.

www.khanacademy.org
Khan Academy, started with the mission of offering everyone the chance of a first-class education for free.  The great thing about this website for high school students studying for final exams, is that there are video lessons created by real people for every topic imaginable from organic chemistry to Spanish history.  If you need a last minute review session, or a rehash of a lesson, then khan academy is the way to go.

www.sparknotes.com
While language arts teachers might not condone the use of sparknotes, it makes for a great study tool for last minute review of books that you might, or might not have, read.  From content summaries in video or print, to review for every subject imaginable, sparknotes is the place to go, as long as you don’t mind all the distracting advertisements.

www.studygs.net/index.htm
While this site won’t help you study for anything in particular, it offers test-taking strategies for every class and every subject, and ways to navigate questions that you have no clue on.  It might make for a good read the morning before your exam, while you prep for the day ahead.

http://www.how-to-study.com/study-skills/en/writing-terms.asp
This site has basic summaries of important language arts terms, and guides for good ways to go about your studying, as well as what to eat the day of the exam.

www.google.com
At first, this may seem like an obvious and lazy suggestion, but Google+ accounts allow for free group video chats.  Therefore, the night before an exam, you can get together a study group without having to go any further than your living room.
