I want you to spend at least two hours over break or the week after break on AP Test Prep. I have linked several sites on the blog that you can go for practice tests, tips, etc. Once you have logged the two hours, you need to leave a comment on the blog. Below are several options for your AP Test Prep time. Don't forget to comment on this blog post once you have logged your 2 hours! (It won't show your comment right away. I have to approve comments before they show up on here.)
