Unit 10 is about a week long and you will want to save some time for review. As a reminder, the AP CSA exam is early this year, given on May 7th at 12pm local time. If you are not on track to finish in the next couple of weeks, consider assigning parts of Unit 9 and Unit 10 for homework.

Much of this review can be handled in class, but it can also be assigned for homework. [AP Computer Science A Review Course](https://codehs.com/course/7723/explore) The review course is broken out by unit and offers multiple-choice and short practice problems. It also has several CodeHS original practice FRQ questions. [AP CSA FRQ Center](https://codehs.com/library/apcsa_frq_center) In the AP CSA FRQ Center, you will find FRQ questions from past exams presented in different formats and ready to assign to your class. In addition to CodeHS resources, be sure to utilize resources from the College Board. AP Classroom has hundreds of practice multiple-choice questions as well as some full-length practice tests. Another good resource in AP Classroom is the AP Daily Videos that review key concepts for students.
