This blog exists for those who want to explore the creativity of God through the study of psychology. It is meant to enhance the learning experience of those taking AP Psychology classes taught by Emily Shorey. Learn more about yourself, your family, your friends, and the world. The study of psychology, as taught by Emily, is intended to go beyond equipping students to take the AP Psychology Exam. It is meant to create a greater awareness in students, resulting in individuals who are skilled in showing compassion to the people around them.

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...

Remember the diagnostic test from the beginning of the year? Why don't you try it again and see how prepared you are for tomorrow. http://testprep.sparknotes.com/testcenter/ap/psychology/

Check out any of these review videos that I didn't post, especially the ones covering areas you need some additional help in. http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOG05VwbujNwGUX5UA0zcXQ?feature=g-all-u

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!!!!!


- 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 everything else 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 - Days 3-2

Oops. Sorry about the delay, I lost track of time. 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 (see what I emailed to you). Practice tests help you in preparing for the actual types of questions you'll get and will help you see your weak areas.
