Review Countdown to the AP EXAM - Day 1!!!!
Well, this is it. Just one more day until the big day. You all have worked very hard this year and learned loads of stuff. Whatever your scores may be after tomorrow, thank you for investing so much into this class. I hope more than anything that some of the principles we've discussed will serve you well in the rest of life.
A few last minute things...
I am posting this full length exam one more time - have you taken it yet? This will not only give you an idea of what score you may get on the AP but will also give you some practice in answering questions like those you will find on the exam Monday. Barron's Full Length Practice Exam
Check out any of these review videos that I didn't post, especially the ones covering areas you need some additional help in. Psych Review Videos
Some other things to remember:
- Make sure you arrive in plenty of time for the exam. If you are late you will not be allowed in. Also, being a homes-schooled student you may have additional paperwork, etc. to do. BE AT LEAST 1 HOUR EARLY!!!!! As soon as you arrive, inform someone of who you are and why you are present.
- Wear comfortable clothes. It's not a fashion show.
- Bring ONLY blue/black pens, pencils and erasers. Also, a watch that doesn't beep. You won't need anything else for the exam, so just leave it all behind.
- Make sure you guess on the multiple choice questions - there's no penalty for wrong answers.
- Get plenty of sleep tonight, so you are fresh and rested tomorrow.
- Eat a good breakfast in the morning.
- Pray before the test, at this point there is little else you can do, so it's best to give it over to God.

Countdown Review to the AP EXAM - Day 3
As I've said before, I like this list of terms. If you haven't already, print it and highlight all the ones you know and then work on the ones you don't know. 425 Terms You Should Know
Now that your final has been graded, you should have some idea of which areas you are weakest in. Use practice quizzes to help you review and prepare for those subjects. Here are the ones I've been giving you all along, are there any you haven't done yet? PRACTICE QUIZZES
On our last day for topic review, why don't you take a bit of time to review treatment of psychological disorders. Here are flashcards.

Countdown Review to the AP EXAM - Day 5
Only a couple of days left!!!! Take some time to watch these videos. Other than this, the most helpful thing to be doing at this point is taking practice tests. Practice tests help you in preparing for the actual types of questions you'll get and will help you see your weak areas.
Review your Abnormal Psychology information today - since it was one of the last things we studied, it should be more familiar to you (remember serial positioning effect). For fun, why don't you take this psychopathy test.
And why not do some flashcards and a review quiz.
Crash course videos:
For those for whom watching videos is the best kind of review - here's a bunch of videos on several challenging topics.

Countdown Review to the AP EXAM - Day 6
Today's topic? A second look at states of consciousness. The first review focused on sleep and sleep cycles. This time, let's focus on alternate states of consciousness - drugs, hypnosis, dreams. Can you summarize the different theories of dreams as well as theories of hypnosis?
Start with some flashcards and then take a quiz.
This is an interesting article on hypnosis. What do you think?
Take some time to review the different types of drugs, and the effects of each. Use the chart I gave you as well as the 'mouse drug party'.
