Final Review
Objective:
The goal of this review is to prepare for a culminating, comprehensive exam for the course.
Suggested Review Practices:
Students need practice answering multiple choice and free-response questions. Of course, they also need practice simulating the actual conditions of the AP* test. Simulate those conditions during this week.
Pacing Guide:
- Briefly review chapters 1–8—day 1
- Briefly review chapters 9–17 and the appendix—day 2
- 100 question multiple-choice test—day 3
- Double-essay test—day 4
- Review corrected multiple-choice and essay exams—day 5
- Block Scheduling
The review of chapters 1–8 should be given one block, as should the review of chapters 9–17. Give the multiple-choice and essay exams one block. Review of the exams should take no longer than one half of a block, unless questions arise.
Troubleshooting Tips:
- Design an experiment studying the effects of napping on mood. Be sure to include an explanation of the following: hypothesis, population, sample, independent variable, dependent variable, experimental group, control group, and operational definitions where needed.
- Though there should be at least three multiple-choice questions for each performance standard, you should not limit yourself to three questions if you've spent significantly more time covering a particular performance standard.
