On April 20th, the Council of Pre-Service Teachers of Math and Science, with the support of the GeauxTeach Program, the Cain Center and the Department of Mathematics hosted a full-length Practice AP Calculus AB exam to prepare current calculus high schools for the real exam in May.

While their exams were being graded, the students explored LSU and had lunch at the newly renovated Student Union. At 2:30pm, the students returned to collect their scores and attend a Q&A session about major misconceptions on the test lead by Dr. Stephen Shipman of the Math Department.
