- There are NO extensions. There are NO exemptions.
- Be sure that you complete your exams using a trusty computer with a trusty connection – NO EXCUSES!!! Final exams will not be reset.
- You need to make sure you have the latest Java version and latest browser version, preferably Chrome or Firefox.
- Prepare now so you do not run into issues.
How do I review for my Psychology A final exam?
Your final exam is the same format as your unit m/c exams. There is no FRQ on your AP Psychology A final.
- Shmoop, Shmoop, Shmoop!!! If you have not already enrolled in Shmoop, now is the time to do so (see graphic below if you don't know how). You can take a diagnostic test in Shmoop to see where you really need to focus in your studies. Again, this is also a great tool to review for the AP exam in May.
- Review all missed items from your unit m/c exams and FRQs. (See image below if you don't know how to do this.)
- Check out the resources in the LINKS section of your course and in course news items.
- Review your e text resources such as vocabulary in the margins, graphics, and chapter summaries.
- Review course content and learning objects for practice.
