2020 College Board AP Psychology Exam:
Tuesday, May 12, 2020 at noon in the LMC
Two key study strategies:
- Distributed practice: space out your study over a period of days and weeks.
- Active processing: study a portion of the material and try practice questions. (Research conducted by Henry L Roediger III, cited in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Feb. 17, 2012.)
TESTING ANXIETY TIP:
Research in the journal Science from Jan. 14, 2011
One way to deal with test anxiety is to spend 10 minutes writing about thoughts and feelings related to test anxiety. Do this just before the exam.
Professor Sian L. Beilock says that writing about anxiety frees working memory to improve recall. By dealing with worrying before the exam, more brain power is available to keep you focused on remembering information that is on the test.
