Review Abnormal Psychology and Treatments of Psychological Disorders and Social Psychology over vacation. These are Units 12, 13 and 14 in the text and 16, 17 and 18 in the Princeton guide.

Homework: After completing ALL the review over break please take the practice AP exam at the back of your Princeton Review.  You will be submitting your scores on the Monday you return from break.  This includes your multiple choice score as well as your essay score.  You should take the test in the format given in the book.  Use the bubble sheet for your answers and the lined paper in the review book for your essay.   I will be checking off that you completed the essay to the best of you ability as well as your outline of the essay.  I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to try and create a real testing environment.  Take the multiple choice section in the 70 minutes.  Give yourself a small 5-10 minute break then write the essay in the allotted 50 minute time allowance. Please look over your exam and identify your weak areas and use that as a guide to study.
