AP Statistics Reviews

Excellent Statistics Class

This AP statistics class greatly furthered my knowledge of statistics, thanks to Mrs. Chan's method of teaching. I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn more about statistics beyond basic high school math classes, as Mrs. Chan did an excellent job of making sure that all concepts were easy to understand. I personally felt that the coursework was easy to manage and not too much, and when I took the exam, there was no problem that I didn't know how to solve!

Very thorough preparation

Ms. Chan's AP statistics class prepared me extremely well for the AP
exam. I think this is largely due to Ms. Chan's method of overpreparing her
students. For example, some of Ms. Chan's chapter tests were harder than the 
actual AP exam. However, the difficulty of her tests motivated me to study
harder, and accordingly, the exam seemed very easy.

A Very Thorough and Interesting Class!

I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning about statistics! Mrs. Chan is an excellent teacher and the recourses she has prepared for this class are very detailed and helpful. Mrs. Chan's video walkthrough's of the textbook material are full of helpful explanations and examples. The assignments are all relevant and interesting and have real world-connections. Class times were always very helpful in reviewing the material, and there were lots of chances to work through practice problems with other students. The course finished in the beginning of March, and so there 2 full months of review; which means that by the time you get to the exam, you are so ready and prepared for the exam. I took the exam this morning and felt so prepared and confident. 

Very good Stats Class

I did feel prepared for the AP exam. I put about three hours a week into the course. I thought the bead example was the most valuable. The course did enhance your interest in the subject. My communications with other students were very valuable. A hard-working, diligent student would do well. I would recommend this course for other students. 

Great preparation for college!

As a student interested in research I found that AP Statistics with Mrs. Chan made me even more excited for a career working with data analysis!  I especially loved the textbook, which combined examples from real-life studies and data sets with practical applications that high school students can appreciate.  It's very encouraging to take a math class that actually explains how I might use each obscure formula in the future!  With a 5 on my AP exam, I feel prepared and excited to head towards the next level of statistics once I enter college.

Solid Preparation for AP exam

Ms. Chan's class was the best preparation I could have had for the AP Statistics exam, on which I was able to score a 5. The assignments in the class were challenging, but did not create too heavy of a work load, and the structure of the tests were very similar to that of the real exam, on a smaller scale. Class time was productive and engaging, with an emphasis on clarifying confusing topics and learning to quickly, accurately, and clearly solve free response questions. Communication with Ms. Chan outside of class could be difficult, but any issues were mitigated by the detailed list of assignments provided on the class page at the beginning of each week. All in all, AP Statistics was a well taught, comprehensive course which prepared me well for both the AP Statistics exam and any future practical applications of the topic which I may come upon.

Review of AP Statistics (Amelia Chan)

I feel like the course material was helpful in understanding concepts to a degree and ultimately being prepared for the AP Exam. I was mainly learning from the textbook as I felt the lectures and videos were less engaging and difficult to get through while not learning much. The material in the tests did serve as good preparation for the AP exam, and I was able to take note of the concepts I needed to study the most. I am still conflicted on my interest in statistics, but that may change if I take an in-person AP statistics class. During many points in the school year, I felt like I was struggling to find interest in statistics, and while I do think learning statistics provided unique insight on how the world works and how we can use certain knowledge and information to our advantage, I don't exactly feel like this is something I'd want to return to, depending on what more there is to learn. I did not find communications with other students to be particularly valuable as we mostly just proposed answers between each other and little else. I would likely not recommend this course to other students unless they consider themselves fit for online school. I don't think I would've done well in this class if I had a normal course load since I was only taking about three courses at a time.

Can't recommend enough

I really enjoyed taking AP Statistics with Ms. Chan. I thought the live classes were lots of fun and very informative. I also found the video lectures to be extremely helpful and thorough. I found sapling very easy to use for homework. I always knew if I had any questions or problems I could reach out to Ms. Chan. I think this course did a great job at preparing me for the exam and all the extra notes and materials provided such as StatMedic were extremely helpful. 

An excellent statistics class

I really enjoyed this class! Ms. Chan explains everything very clearly. She is very thorough and I got good feedback on my FRQs. The AP exam tips were also extremely helpful. I would recommend this class to any student who has an interest in statistics. It's very easy to ask questions and get help. The textbook and sapling assignments also give feedback so you can understand where you went wrong.

Parent Approved!

As a parent, I know how important honest reviews of courses are in deciding which one to choose for your child. As I read through reviews of Ms. Chan's AP Statistics course, what resonated with me was the fact that she prepared the students well for the AP exam and that she took time to explain concepts thoroughly. My son took this AP course and another one this year, the first two he had ever taken, and I am so pleased with the outcome. Ms. Chan clearly outlines her expectations and deadlines for the course, and is available to be messaged if there are any questions or concerns. The weekly Zoom meetings were an important tool to hammer home concepts and the activities completed during them were popular and enjoyable. I did not need to help him at all during this course, which increased his independence and prepared him for college coursework. There were several different platforms that he had to toggle between (Sapling, Canvas, etc.) that were a bit confusing for him in the beginning, but after the first week, he had the system down. Canvas is a popular platform that colleges use, so I felt it was a good thing for him to be exposed to it and learn to be comfortable with it now before college starts. He found Statistics to be a very interesting subject, having only minimal interaction with it in previous math courses and felt very well prepared for the exam. I would 100% recommend this course with Ms. Chan to organized students who stay on top of their assignments and do not fall behind. 

Great Class!

I really enjoyed the AP Statistics course this year with Ms. Chan. I felt more confident in my performance on the AP exam than other students I talked with. Compared to the other AP course I took, the course load for statistics was lighter, however, I still feel Ms. Chan prepared us very well for the exam. The Zoom meetings were especially fun, with my favorite part being the occasional activities. I had never taken a course in statistics before, but this course was really interesting to me. I'd recommend this course to someone who is organized and can stay on top of the assignments.

Great class!

I really enjoyed this class, and I felt well-equipped to take the AP exam by the end of the course. The workload is relatively light and very manageable as long as you don't procrastinate, and there are a multitude of resources that are readily available to students who need a bit of guidance. Unfortunately, I could not attend the live sessions since I live in Asia, but Ms. Chan does an excellent job of clarifying difficult problems and providing helpful exam tips and pointers during the recordings. I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone who wants to go for a 5 on the AP Statistics exam. 

Totally hands off!

As a parent, I'm am very grateful to feel that I canNOT give much of a review.  That may seem a strange review.  However, my daughter is a homeschooled senior, and I literally had absolutely NOTHING to do with her experience of this course.  This was my desire.  My background is in physics and engineering, but I did NOT have the bandwidth to field the questions that can pop up all the time, especially when I'm in the same ROOM with the child.  This course provided her the necessary means to work through her difficulties withOUT my help.  I am eternally grateful.

This course was masterfully taught by https://www.mathamelia.com/, and while i wasn't able to take the AP exam due to unfortunate circumstances, I felt very well prepped. I put in a good amount of work per day, but not more than I would have ideally and it didn't push out other necessary schooling. Group extra credit activities were enjoyable and team-building. I didn't know much about statistics before this class, but now my interest is piqued. I love how this class has so many real-world applications and connections, widening my scope to understand the world around me. All students were helpful and supportive in studying and conversations. I would 100% recommend this course to other students. If you are interested in psychology, statistics, economics, or any number of other areas, this class will help deepen your understanding of important concepts and calculations. If you are willing to put in the work, then you will succeed! 

Very satisfied parent!

I have two kids in Ms. Chan's AP Statistics class this year, and I have been very happy to see their level of engagement with this class. One time I happened to be around during an online session, and I heard for myself how much she involved the students in the discussion and how she made sure everyone was on the same page. She works very hard for each student, and I won't hesitate to recommend her classes to anyone.
