Nervous for Psych!

I just want to make some clarifications cause I am really nervous about tomorrows Psych exam  :idiot2: :'(

Are we allowed to use a pencil for the short answer?

How should we go about doing the exam, in terms of speed. Will we be pushed for time or can we relax and just DO THE EXAM

That is all!

*shivers*

I strongly recommend that you use pen for the short answer- it has the potential to fade or smudge over time!

You should be fine for time- I finished both exams with about fifteen minutes remaining last year. This left a decent amount of time to check answers thoroughly.

That's a pretty speedy effort. How did you go on them?

Motivation: My friend got scraped an A+ on exam 1, she got 155/180... She was depressed cause she wanted to score high (who doesn't)... She was expecting a score of 39 to 40 raw since her score was like the fringe of A+

Fortunately she did really well and studied hard for exam 2,  she ended up with 177/180 which equated to a SS of 46

THERES SOME MOTIVATION
DONT EVER GIVE UP

It generally varies ever so slightly. In 2006 it was 160-180.

We can use pencil, but I'm going to use pen, due to what Nick said - it could smudge, and then maybe they won't be able to read your answers :S
