This exam will cover Unit 1 and 2 of Psychology (themes, people, perspectives and personality theories/assessments).

You may not use notes, textbooks, the internet, your phone, or your neighbor. You MAY use your brain. (This is highly recommended, actually.)

You must answer all of the questions in order to submit.

When you submit, the score that is reported to you is NOT your final grade... because I still have to grade the written response.

Good luck!
