Psych 101 Prelim

The first prelim is this Monday. To those who previously took the course, what tips do you have for studying? To those currently enrolled, how do you plan to study?

I always highlight my readings, so I'll probably just read whatever impt. info I highlighted in the textbook/supplemental readings and then test myself with the study guide and the aids on psychportal. I'd prefer to skip over Power Sleep and just review the textbook material on sleep, but idk if that's a good idea or not :/

How much Power Sleep stuff is actually on the exam? You read the supplemental readings, countryangel? I just read about half the modules in the textbook... I need to catch up.

I thought most of the test was fair, but some questions were really obscure...

I took version 1 and signed the waiver for my scores to be released online, but my student ID isn't listed...should I be worried, or are the scores still being updated?
