AP PSYCHOLOGY STUDY REVIEW SESSION #1
MARCH 24 - 29, 2020  

I'm not sure what COLLEGE BOARD will do for the AP TESTING.  We will have to "wait & see," but you MUST continue to study for them nonetheless as if the date [May 8th] is still a good date, or whether it will be moved.

THIS WEEK there are FOUR ASSIGNMENTS.   You'll note the to the left, are LOTS of images of our AP PSYCHOLOGY TEXTBOOK, an online PSYCHOLOGY textbook by David Myers, PODCASTS that cover 90% of NATIONAL EXAM material, COLLEGE BOARD'S AP PSYCHOLOGY FRAMEWORK, MYERS' STUDY GUIDE and the TERMS we covered in class.

Our TEXTBOOK [and the other] provides you the majority of what EVIDENCE, FACTS, DETAILS & SPECIFICS you would ever need for the NATIONAL EXAM.  The FRAMEWORK [to the left] tells you the depth of what COLLEGE BOARD wants you to know for the NATIONAL EXAM.  I've covered this several times this past year.  I would recommend you go over both as you REVIEW & REINFORCE for the NATIONAL EXAM.    In addition, we will continue to OUR GOOGLE CALENDAR to assist in what we are doing in REVIEW SESSIONS.    This REVIEW SESSION covers

Your FIRST ASSIGNMENT is to ACCESS GOOGLE CALENDAR.  Many of you were given the CODE on Friday, March 13th.  If you did not receive one due to WILDCAT CHALLENGE, or an ABSENCE, I am asking MR FLEMING what may be a good way of communicating the CODE to you.  Once I know, you will know.

​Once we get the CODE, go to GOOGLE CLASSROOM and your specific CLASS.  Please JOIN quickly once I communicate the CODE to you.

The SECOND ASSIGNMENT is to ACCESS TESTMOZ.

I am asking students to use the TESTMOZ URL: testmoz.com/2560917
ENTER LAST NAME,  FIRST LETTER OF YOUR FIRST NAME & CLASS PERIOD.    SELECT THE "START" BUTTON.  THIS WILL TAKE YOU TO THE NEXT SCREEN YOU'LL SEE IS THE QUESTION[S] ITSELF.  IT IS SELF EXPLANATORY.  ONCE DONE, SELECT "SUBMIT."   Your responses [and later, scores] will archive in a database for me.  We will use this TESTMOZ engine for future uses. ​
Your THIRD ASSIGNMENT is to QUICKLY  go over INTELLIGENCE & RESEARCH.  Because of COVID-19 we were not able to cover INTELLIGENCE & RESEARCH.  As a part of our REVIEW & REINFORCEMENT please go over the CRASH COURSE VIDEOS, KHAN ACADEMY VIDEOS, POWERPOINTS & OUTLINES, so you can grasp the key topics, terms and concepts.  There are videos about testing for the AP PSYCHOLOGY NATIONAL EXAM.  The expectation is you go through what is available on this REVIEW SESSION#1. 

Your FOURTH ASSIGNMENT is to go to TESTMOZ .   URL: testmoz.com/2564055.    

​This will tell me if you REVIEWED & REINFORCED via the VIDEOS & PPTS.  Like before, ENTER LAST NAME,  FIRST LETTER OF YOUR FIRST NAME & CLASS PERIOD.    SELECT THE "START" BUTTON.  THIS WILL TAKE YOU TO THE NEXT SCREEN YOU'LL SEE IS THE QUESTION[S] ITSELF.  IT IS SELF EXPLANATORY.  ONCE DONE, SELECT "SUBMIT."   Your responses [and later, scores] will archive in a database for me.  We will use this TESTMOZ engine for future uses.
