1. Don't re-read the chapter unless you never read it; go back to your notes unless they are totally unreadable. If they are, you need to work on your handwriting. 2. After reviewing your notes, old tests, open up the review book you were given at the start of the school year. Quizlet isn't your only friend. 3. Now, discuss the chapter with a friend. Pick a friend who thinks differently from you, who makes different mistakes, and review together. Do not do this with an XBox. Turn of the TV, netflix, and do not chill. Get a little stressed. You will be stressed taking any exam, so study a little stressed. Of course don't study with your friend in bed. (tried to insert emoji, didn't work). Make sure you have friends who are smarter than you. #squadgoals Worst case scenario use a parent. Even worse, sibling or librarian. This is moving it up Bloom's Taxonomy. 4. Spaced rehearsal. Testing effect. Cumulative assessment. You have all of your old tests (you're welcome!) use them! The midyear is going to be very similar to all of the other chapter exams. You are ready!
 * So you are wondering...how to study for this midyear ** that asks you to know and apply all of the vocab from all semester? Well, there is always quizlet for each chapter, which you can find below, but that is just, "do you know the baseline vocab?" and sometimes people kid themselves. Can you apply the concepts, do you recognize terms outside of flashcards, do you look at memes or events in the news and think of psych? Yes, that is next level and means you are getting it and internalizing/comprehending at the deepest levels. This is why the pinterest boards are where A students spend their time.

Here is the program, about every two weeks we cover a unit, this is usually one chapter, but could be two, in which case there is a bit more time. Your responsibility is to read the chapter on your own time and take notes. You are also expected to actively participate in class lecture/discussions, complete one project per unit and peruse the supplemental resources. Follow the plan and you will be successful in learning and on the AP test. Note: **you will need a 3 ring binder of 2" or larger for this full year course**, you may leave it in the room! I have a bunch if you want one or if you want a special Transformers one, treat yourself. You may not use a spiral, all work needs to stay organized by chapter and that doesn't work in a spiral, especially a spiral that you use for all of your classes. All notes will be handwritten. See WSJ, NPR because your essays on the AP test will be handwritten -unless you have an ed plan specifying otherwise.

Please read the Syllabus, Course Expectations, and of course @Summer Work

The summer work shouldn't have taken you very long, if you are serious about this level of work the book was pretty easy to read.

We will have a wonderful year of learning many things. Thanks for joining, Dr. Gould
