Goodbye!

The year is almost over! My advice to future AP Psych students is to not do all your vocab the day before the test and to make real world links to the vocab you study. When I did my vocabulary, it wasn't everyday, but I tried to pace myself and did around 3 sets every 3 days or when I had free time. It might be tempting to do the vocab all at once, but pacing yourself really helps in memorization and understanding. Make sure you link the vocab term to something in your life so that you can remember it better (ex. I drew things from memes or movies). Also, DO THE REVIEWS FROM SCHOOLOGY!! They help a lot when actually trying to apply vocab terms.


My favorite activity from psychology would be the goose chase scavenger hunt because we got to move around and not be stuck in chairs all day. In my opinion, the orange brain diagram was not the best because it didn't really help me understand the parts of the brain (the candy didn't really stay in the right positions). It was just messy and sticky. I think that switching to the playdo brain diagram would be better. It would be fun to have a mental health day for psych students once a month where students can do yoga and relax.
