Teaching High School Psychology Blog Moderators
With the AP Psychology Exam just one week away, many of us are reaching the end to a long journey that started last September. Below are some of the "last minute" items I tell my students. Note: This listing is basically the same as the last minute items I posted last year at this time.
General Information:
- Tuesday May 11, 2010 in the afternoon
- Bring pencils with erasers and blue or black pens
- Bring a watch that does not beep
- Do not wear any psychology related clothing
- Do not bring anything else: books, papers, calculators, cell phones, etc.
- 100 multiple choice questions
- 70 minutes
- 2/3 of the overall grade
- A-E Answers
- Names, charts, graphs, drawings are all possible
- 1/4 point adjustment for guessing
- 2 required Free Response (essay) Questions
- 50 minutes
- 1/3 of the overall grade - 1/6 of grade for each question
- Points are given for correct responses not taken away for incorrect material
- Points can only be removed if one part of an answer contradicts another part
- Read through both questions before doing anything else
- Think through the answer before starting to write
- Write an outline or notes in the test question booklet
- Don’t be afraid to cross something out, if needed
- Write in sentences - DO NOT OUTLINE OR BULLET YOUR ANSWER.
- Be as complete as possible, but keep to the point.
- Watch the time. Don’t get caught short on essay #2
- Structure the answer following the structure of the question
- Do not discuss the multiple-choice section with anyone
- Do not discuss the free response questions for 48 hours. The general rule of thumb is wait until the questions have been posted on the College Board website
- Do NOT post, text, email etc. anything about the exam on the Internet, especially on Facebook, Twitter or other social networks
- Do not come and visit me between the multiple choice section and free response section
There are a host of products students can purchase to help them prepare for the AP Psychology Exam. Review books currently on the market include:
- Barron's AP Psychology Barron's Book with CD ROM (Allison Weseley & Rob McEntarffer)
- Cliffs AP Psychology(Lori Harris et. al.)
- D&S Marketing AP Psychology (Michael Sullivan)
- Holt McDougal Fast Track to a Five: Preparing for the AP Psychology Examination (William James & Michael McLane)
- Kaplan AP Psychology (Chris Hakala)
- McGraw-Hill 5 Steps to a 5 AP Psychology (Laura Maitland & Pam Hannah)
- Princeton Review Cracking the AP Psychology Exam (Princeton Review)
- REA AP Psychology (Don Sharpstenn, Karen Brown & Tia Patrick)
- Spark Notes AP Power Pack for AP Psychology (Spark Publishing)
With the AP Psychology Exam just around the corner, my (Kent) thought was to conduct a quick survey about guessing strategies on the AP exam. With the quarter-point adjustment for incorrect answers, teachers/students have developed a variety of philosophies on when to and when not to guess on a multiple choice question. In the past, I have found this to be one of the more debatable topics regarding the exam.
The current results of the survey will be revealed once you have cast your vote. Thank you for your participation.
N=131 as of 06/11/10.
Thanks to all those who have participated. Please feel free to further explain your strategy in the comments section below.
