  8. General Info About Testing • All students must be dismissed at the same time—you can not leave early. • You can go to the restroom during testing, but will lose the time you are gone. • There will be a 10 minute break between sections. • You can not discuss test information during the break. (This would be the ONE time in your life that you would not want to be discussing AP Psychology.) • Do not use your cell phone during the break either—for any reason!

  9. General Tips (from McGraw-Hill’s 5 Steps to a 5) • Write in your booklet. • Come back to questions that are difficult—you have about ¾ of a minute per question. • Don’t “overthink”!
