We're getting to the point where we need to review all that we've learned this year WHILE continuing to master new content as we finish our last few units. Use this post as your guide to get started.
If you tend to procrastinate... and most of us do.... you should read this post about how to overcome procrastination.

Use the AP Psychology Score Calculator
http://appass.com/calculators/psychology to see what it takes to get a 3, 4 or 5. Move the sliders and hit "calculate" to see the score.
Some good review resources:

YOURBOOKSNOTESANDFLASHCARDS(not)COM
You also have your AP Review Books, your Bernstein Study Guides, your PsykTrek CDs, and the thousands of flashcards and hundreds of pages of notes you've created this year.
TWITTER.COM
Mr. Jones, an AP Psych teacher from North Carolina started using Twitter last year for AP Psych review.
"...if a student has a question about AP Psych, they can just type the question on Twitter and put this at the end of the tweet: #appsychreview
For those of you who are old hats at Twitter, you’ll recognize #appsychreview as a hashtag – it’s a way to group together tweets with a common theme. Anyone can then assist the student with their question – it could be a AP Psych teacher, a professor, or even a fellow AP Psych student. I’ve asked a few AP teachers to help out, but we would love your help. If you are familiar with Twitter and you would like to help out with answering questions, it’s probably easiest to set up a separate search for #appsychreview or just bookmark this link: https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/appsychreview ."
For info about how to use #APPaychReview see http://teachinghighschoolpsychology.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-return-of-return-of-ap-psych-review.html?m=1#sthash.lOcy1InI.dpbs
Keep in mind that these will mostly be other students answering questions, so it's not as authoritative as a textbook or other edited resource.
