This is a complete review for Unit 3 based off of the AP Course and Exam Description. I have the learning objective and essential knowledge for each topic listed on the page with that particular topic review, and I tried to put questions / tasks that address these. Also, I tried to incorporate tasks that would "hit" areas that students sometimes struggle.

There are two files. One is the student document and the other is the answer key. PLEASE don't post the answer key for the students to search up.

I would appreciate any feedback - I will be going in and update / make changes as I use this with my students so feedback from other APES teachers is greatly appreciated!
