AP Psych

The exam is at noon on May 2nd, 2011. Study session times (including ones organized by the students – tell me when & where and I will post info) will also be listed here, as well as helpful strategies, study guide books, and other tips for the test.

The cost to take the exam is $87, plus any administrative fees.  For the past seven years, the state of Georgia has funded at least one AP Exam for all students each year and all exams for students on free and reduced lunch status.  However, with the passing of the FY11 state budget, GADOE will only provide funding for one (1) AP exam for students who qualify on free and reduced lunch status for the May 2011 AP administration.  These students also qualify for a College Board reduction, bringing the cost for each additional exam to $57.  Please begin to make plans now to cover the costs of your AP exams.

I have two policies pertaining to tests. For every ten vocabulary notecards you compile before each test, you get one point extra credit, up to 5 points. The second is a re-take policy: you may re-take one exam by the end of the semester to replace that exam’s original grade.

We will be analyzing films in class after the exam. Movies we might watch/assign for outside viewing are (and you can look them up on IMDB):

• The Breakfast Club
• Shrek 2
• Girl, Interrupted
• A Beautiful Mind
• What About Bob?
• Awakenings
  
• Downfall
