<p>just finished my final, got my scores today besides free response.
80/100 on mc. feeling pretty good :)</p>
<p>I took a practice AP exam through my online course and scored an 85 out of 100. Is that a 5? Taking into account I do well on the essays.</p>
<p>@nate42, yes that should be a 5</p>
<p>How difficult are the Barron’s practice tests relative to the real deal?</p>
<p>Weird question but what is the college board take on ethically questionable answers?</p>
<p>For example: this one from the 2008 FRQ:
Provide a specific example of actions the Smith-Garcias might take to raise their child to produce positive
outcomes using each of the theories below to address the corresponding psychological concept.
• Skinner’s operant conditioning: tantrum management </p>
<p>Would I get docked for saying “Every time the kid throws a tantrum, use positive punishment in the form of corporeal beatings, and the kid will associate tantrums with the pain from the beatings…”?</p>
<p>You might. Although it’s entirely correct, corporeal beatings have been known to be ineffective in the long-run, so you might have to say that the positive punishment you decide to use would be a short-term policy.</p>
<p>As for the multiple choice about the myelin sheath, the answer is B.</p>
<p>Here’s another question:</p>
<p>These psychologists believe that we organize sensations into meaningful patterns.</p>
<p>a. Gestalt
b. behavioral
c. cognitive
d. psychodynamic</p>
<p>Is the answer A?</p>
<p>You are correct.</p>
<p>All of the following are known for their theories of what intelligence is except for </p>
<p>A) Thurstone
b) Gardner
C) Sternberg
D) Flynn
E) Guildford</p>
<p>Is it C sternberg?
not sure who the other people are LOL</p>
<p>I think it’s D) Flynn.</p>
<p>He theorized that as time goes by, people get smarter.</p>
<p>Just checked:
Sternberg: trichiarc - Analytical, Creative, Practical
Thurstone and Guildford - Seven main characteristics
Gardener - Multiple intelligences</p>
<p>Isn’t sternberg the love theory?
feeling unprepared now :P</p>
<p>I have read 150 pages of Barron’s today. This is cramming at its finest.</p>
<p>Yes, it’s Flynn. He found that performance on intelligence tests has been increasing steadily throughout the century.
I have not heard of the love theory and it’s not in my Barron’s book so… xD
nate42, I’m with you, brother. Thankfully, we’re still ~1.5 days early</p>
<p>Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love
Passionate, Companionate , consummate</p>
<p>@appendix: Glad I’m not the only one. :D</p>
<p>I think I will wrap up Barron’s tonight. Take a released exam tomorrow. Review what I missed and then call it quits.</p>
<p>I’m confused about this question from the 1994 exam (number 36): </p>
<p>According to attribution theory, Pablo is most likely to attribute his high score on a difficult exam to: </p>
<p>A) good luck
B) his intelligence
C) his instructor’s teaching ability
D) the low difficulty of the exam
E) his classmates’ inadequate preparation for the exam</p>
<p>The answer is B, but I’m confused as to how you can tell that’s the answer (I picked A).</p>
<p>attribution theory is when the person overestimates the influence of personality and himself…so that would bmake sense if pablo thinks he did well on a test because he is smart… not because he has good luck…good luck has nothing to do with personality</p>
<p>It’s a weird question because all of the answers are attribution but I think it’s because it asks which he ‘is most likely’ to perform. People are most likely to have fundamental attribution error, which is overestimating the importance of dispositional factors in others. I guess that could also mean attributing achievements to his own dispositional factors (Pablo’s intelligence)… That’s an awkward question. If he were from a more collectivist culture, it might be A. Does Pablo sound like a name from a collectivist culture? Haha~</p>
