Describe what the study was designed to investigate or discover:
This study takes a look at the benefits of frequent quizzing, and how it aids in both memory and attention when studying. The study also looks at the brain’s tendency to wander particularly during long periods of studying or lectures, lowering the amount of material being consumed. The quizzes are defined by the study as low stakes tests that allow students to review material, whether given by a professor or when studying out of class.
Describe how the study was conducted (who were the participants, how were data collected?): The study conducted repeats the set up of others in which there are two control groups. In Dr. Weinstein’s study, each control group was given 4 sets of 12 people’s names attached to faces. Each group was told that they may or may not be tested after each set, with a definite test after studying all 4 sets. In reality, one control group was tested after each set while the other group was only tested on all 4 sets at the end. Describe some of the results and what they meant: The results found that when retested at a later date, the participants who were tested, did far better than those who were only tested once. For the final test after all sets, the group that was consistently tested got

The English language is particularly complex in almost all aspects. Many of the words in the English language have different meanings for the same word. This is not unlike the definition of the different levels of usage. McCrimmon defines the three levels, formal, moderate, and colloquial, by their sentence structure, diction, and tone (McCrimmon 193). ¹ Using McCrimmon’s definitions, authors can determine what type of writing is applicable to each of the three levels. For the formal writings, an adequate example of where readers can find it is in a professional journal, and an appropriate place to find an example of the moderate level is in a weekly news magazine. Also, the best place to look for an example of the colloquial level is in certain sections of the newspaper. All of the levels of usage apply to these different types of writings and assist in defining what each level involves.

The following questions are samples of the free response questions from past AP Psychology exams. The free response sections are worth 33 1/3 percent of the total grade. Students have 50 minutes to answer two questions.

It was found that the more a student attempted a quiz, that higher the student’s grade on the quiz became. There are several reasons that take credit for this. The first reason is that taking a quiz for the first time gives a student a better idea of the material that the quiz covers, so if a student attempts the quiz again he/she will be more prepared. The second reason is
