About AP Psychology

Detailed Information

About the AP Psychology Exam

AP Psychology is an introductory exam covering fundamental concepts, theories and research methods in psychology. Biological bases, sensation and perception, learning and memory, cognitive processes, developmental psychology, personality theories, abnormal psychology, social psychology and treatment methods are covered across 9 main units. The exam consists of 100 MCQs and 2 FRQs.

TestPrep Strategy for Scoring 5 on AP Psychology

Success in AP Psychology requires extensive terminology knowledge and the ability to apply these concepts to real-world scenarios. FRQs require correctly identifying and applying multiple psychological concepts from a given scenario. TestPrep Psychology tutors provide key terms, important research studies and theorist lists for each unit. Intensive study plans are implemented for frequently tested topics including biological bases, memory models and social psychology experiments.

    4/5

    I finally understood what was going wrong in AP Psychology. I wasn't trying to learn new topics at the very last minute.

  • Riley Kirk

    4/5

    I was doing questions for AP Psychology on my own but never had a steady routine. Breaking AP Psychology into smaller pieces worked much better for me. I started tracking the type of mistake, not just the number of questions I completed. I stopped listing facts in essays and started building an actual argument. I found a better balance between regular school and exam preparation. Thank you to my tutor and the TestPrep team.

  • Harrison Teague

    4/5

    The feedback I received on AP Psychology was clear and practical. There was no overnight miracle, but the progress was easy to see.

  • Sude Ersoy

    5/5

    As the exam got closer, I wasn't sure what I should actually review. My tutor could see my reasoning and usually found the source of an error quickly. After a while, the questions started to feel much more familiar. It was an intense period, but it was worth it.

  • Amanda Vieira

    5/5

    The feedback I received on AP Psychology was clear and practical. By the end of each lesson, I knew what I was supposed to do during the week. I learned to make a short plan before starting a long response. There was no overnight miracle, but the progress was easy to see. I started noticing the reason for a mistake much faster. I'm glad I worked with my tutor through this process.

  • Vivek Sethi

    4/5

    Keeping school units and exam preparation in the same plan worked really well. Breaking AP Psychology into smaller pieces worked much better for me. There was no overnight miracle, but the progress was easy to see. A big thank you to my tutor for all the support :)

    After the first attempt, we looked for a calmer plan for the retake. We would recommend the program to students and families in a similar situation.

  • Maja Meijer

    4/5

    Over time, AP Psychology became one of the most organized parts of my AP Exams preparation. I learned to make a short plan before starting a long response. Knowing what to study reduced a lot of the stress.

  • Carla Cuevas

    5/5

    Everyone recommended different resources and I kept switching between them. One bad mock no longer made me want to drop the whole plan. A clear plan for the final weeks made priorities much easier to see. Using the mark scheme to review my own answer was surprisingly helpful. Knowing what to study reduced a lot of the stress. I was really happy with the lessons.

  • Imogen Goodall

    5/5

    When I started preparing for AP Exams, I wasn't sure what order to study things in. After a while, the questions started to feel much more familiar.

  • Vinicius Miranda

    5/5

    After each test, we looked beyond the score and reviewed the type of each mistake. Breaking AP Psychology into smaller pieces worked much better for me. I became much more comfortable asking questions in class. Thank you to the tutor who stayed supportive until the end.
