Congratulations, you are now an AP Statistics student. AP Statistics is one of the most interesting and useful subjects you will study in school. Sometimes it has the reputation of being easy compared to calculus. However, it can be deceptively difficult, especially in the second half. It is different and challenging in its own way. Unlike calculus, where you are expected to get precise answers, in statistics you are expected to learn to become comfortable with uncertainly. Instead of saying things like, The answer is... you will more often find yourself saying things like, We are confident that... or We have evidence that... Its a new and exciting way of thinking.

How do you do well on the AP exam? By understanding statistical principles. Keep up on the material during your AP Statistics class and read this book to review and prepare for the exam. Note that the questions on the AP exam are generally quite conceptual. In addition to doing computations, you will need to explain why you did them and what they mean. This also means you must communicate your thoughts clearly. You can always use a calculator, so learn to use it well. But success on the AP Statistics exam will require more than pushing buttons.
