I'd also dress comfortably and bring a sweatshirt and a comfortable shirt under. Don't let environmental factors distract you!
What Not to Bring to the Exam Room
You don’t want to bring any electronic equipment or communication devices, like cell phones, smart phones, tablets or anything else that can access the Internet, any cameras or other photographic equipment, or even any watches that beep or have an alarm.

Finals Week. See LHS main page for schedule and assigned finals date
January 14/15, 2016
-Development symposium
-FRQ practice (time contingent)
HOMEWORK: semester final prep.
I've heard this question a lot, "What is on the final?"
The semester final is intended to test your knowledge of the semester's information including the units:
Cognition (Thinking, Language and Memory), Research Methods, History/Approaches, Biological Bases of Behavior, Sensation and Perception, Motivation and Emotion, States of Consciousness, Learning and Development.
Format is 60 MC questions, No FRQ.
We've discussed strategies, and ways to tackle studying for this type of test. Reading guides, practice tests (see specific unit tabs for those), vocabulary review, watching provided videos, re-reading chapters, and materials you did not do well in and explicitly studying will help you succeed. Put down the phone, get off your bed, turn off Netflix and carve out an hour each night to study JUST PSYCHOLOGY.
This is an AP class and it will be somewhat challenging. If you dedicate time each night to each unit, I can assure you that you will do well on this test. Rise up to the challenge.
Find your own motivation and get to it.
