If you pay attention in class and study the slides, you will almost always do well in his exams. They’re all based off of questions you would see on the AP Exam. You may not be able to get an A on all the exams, but getting an A on the labs isn’t too difficult, so don’t worry about one bad test grade. Homework can be excessive, but I suggest you do all of it if you want some leeway with your test average.

Mr. Wolfe is great at preparing you for the AP Exam! Sure, his exams may be a little difficult, and you may have a time crunch on many of them, but after taking his class, I didn’t have to study much, and I was able to breeze through the AP Exam. You learn a lot from his class, and unlike some other science classes, all of his labs are fun and related to the content you cover in class. Look forward to his scratch coding project!
