Study Tools for your Motivation, Emotion, and Stress Test!

Hi Scholars! It's hard to believe, but your LAST unit test for 1st Semester is nearly upon us. On Thursday, (1/14), you'll be taking your test on Motivation, Emotion, and Stress, so I'm compiling some links/tools here that may be of help as you prepare to finish strong!

1. First, you may find it VERY helpful to review this unit's Learning Objectives. This is a list of things I would expect you to be able to know and do for the test. Especially since we began this unit before break, AND because there are a lot of different/separate topics we addressed, this is nice checklist to make sure you're not missing anything in your studying.
2. You also received Study Guide with practice multiple choice questions following last week's quiz. If you've been through those, and feel that more practice/new questions would be helpful, here are some (created by another AP Psych teacher).
3. Then, there's our good friend, Quizlet. I've embedded the flashcards below. 
4. Study Session Materials:
• Practice FRQ (also has confusing term pairs on pg. 2)
• Slides (will use these to prompt different review activties)
• (Short) vocabulary review [in part because I need to add to it]. Go to join.quizizz.com and enter game code 76532

Note: Still making some final edits on tomorrow's stuff. But, if you've been gone and want to see notes from an absence, everything up until tomorrow's (1/13) slides is current.

Studying for Your Motivation & Emotion Test

It's hard to believe it's already time for your unit test on Motivation & Emotion, and that feeling of disbelief is no doubt magnified by the fact that we've had such a disrupted school calendar as of late (Thanks, winter weather!). But Tuesday will be here quite soon.

We will be using Monday's class period to do some reviewing, something I typically don't devote much class time to, since I feel my students should be learning how to do their reviewing and studying outside of class in preparation for college-level work. However, given that you've been forced into learning a good chunk of this unit's content via the Internet because of our snow days, I really do feel a review day is in order.

As planned, I'll also be hosting a scheduled review session this evening (Sunday) from 5-7 PM, and I'll be available after school on Monday from 4 -6 PM to answer any questions you might have.

As always, there are online review tools at your disposal in order to aid your review, including:

• Quizlet Flashcards for Chapter 12 (Motivation) and Chapter 13 (Emotion + some Stress/Health stuff from Ch. 14). 
• Online Practice Tests on Motivation & Emotion
• Lots of Topic-Specific Review Resources (videos, websites) on the Study Resources Page.
