TIP OF THE DAY: You should only change your answers if it really was a
wild guess, you remember something that changes your guess, an answer to
a later question helped you figure out the correct choice, you did your
math wrong, or you misread the question.

INFORMATION FOR TODAY:

OK, let's get real here. You only have a limited time left before the
exam. Besides taking care of the kids, going to your job, and having a
life, you have to squeeze in some time for studying if you're going to
pass this exam. For some, passing the exam makes the difference between
a promotion or not. I know you've had your eye on that new Volkswagen,
right? For others, it means hitting the pavement and dusting off the old
resume! UGH!

Either way, you want to do your best and get it right the first time!
Speaking of time, just how are you going to spend that precious little
bit of time that you have at the end of the day to ace this thing?

COGNITIVE THEORIES The cognitive theory states, maladaptive behavior is
associated with patterns of thinking and response that do not result in
mentally healthy outcomes. The goal of cognitive-behavioral therapy is
to change or substitute these patterns with more realistic and useful
thoughts and responses. It is used to treat depression, anxiety
disorders, phobias, and other forms of mental disorders. Medication is
often used in conjunction with this approach to treat mood disorders and
more severe forms of mental disorders. Schools of psychotherapy
associated with this discipline are Rational Emotive Therapy, Rational
Behavior Therapy, Rational Living Therapy, Cognitive Therapy and
Dialectic Behavior Therapy. FOUNDATIONS * Ivan Pavlov
