Here’s a break-down of what percentage of the test will be devoted to each unit we studied.

Use this checklist to make sure you are prepared

• Have you studied your vocab. cards over and over and over and over again?

• Did you fill in AND QUIZ YOURSELF on the graphic organizer of important experiments and the psychologists who conducted them?

• Do you know the different approaches to psychology and the psychologists who practice them?

• Can you name every “SNAGGED” neurotransmitter and what it does?

• Can you create an experiment using all the elements of good experimental design?

• Did you review and do you KNOW BY HEART Piaget’s, Eriksons, and Kholberg’s stages of development?

• Have you reviewed all your FRQ tests?

• Have you gone over your MC tests and reviewed questions you got wrong?

• Did you work independently in the review book on the areas you most needed to study?

• Did you play the games in Ms. Myers’ room MORE THAN ONCE!?!

Congrats! All your hard work has paid off and you are ready!
