AP+Test+Tips


 * **THE MULTIPLE CHOICE SECTION** ||
 * **1.** || **The First couple of questions on the multiple choice are easy, so you can "get into" your exam. Do not overestimate your abilities.** ||
 * **2.** || **Do not expect to go through the test knowing the answer to every question. It is not expected of you. REMEMBER, everyone is using a different book.** ||
 * **3.** || **It is okay to skip a couple. REMEMBER, a right answer will give you 1 mark while a wrong answer will cost you 1¼ marks . Don't start guessing wildly!!** ||
 * **4.** || **Don't waste your time thinking about one question. You can always go back. For me, I left 10 questions empty and went back to do them. You might pick up clues from questions further down.** ||
 * **5.** || **REMEMBER, most of the questions are based on VOCABULARY. Make sure you memorized all the vocabulary in your psychology text book if you don't plan to read over the book.** ||


 * **THE FREE-RESPONSES SECTION** ||
 * **1.** || **English is not that important here. You WILL NOT be marked on your English.** ||
 * **2.** || **REMEMBER, the markers want to give you marks. Try to give them information you can be awarded credit for.** ||
 * **3.** || **If You can, NEVER write around the question, jsut answer it and give enough information to explain what is needed.** ||
 * **4.** || **Although you should answer the question as direct as possible, adding a few examples will help because it shows the marker that you know your stuff** ||
 * **5.** || **If you are not too sure of what you are doing, just BS. REMEMBER, no marks will be taken off for wrong answers. By writing something down, you at least have a chance to gain partial marks.** ||
 * **6.** || **ALWAYS flip to the back of the exam and open the flap. Inside the flap should be the total marks awarded for each essay question. This way, you can roughly estimate the scale on which the marks are awarded. For example: 1 mark for definition, 1 mark for its link to the topic. ** ||
 * **7.** || **REMEMBER, if you fail to understand the question, make sure you write out all the definitions (if required -usually does) because you can earn some marks. HOWEVER, this method should only be used if you truly don't understand what the question is.** ||
 * **8.** || **Write a THANK YOU NOTE at the end of your essay. This could be the difference in a mark of 9 and 9½. Make it sound funny like "the 9 millionth customer would like to say thanks for your time marking this". After all, marking exam after exam can be a tiring job!** ||
