<p>I didn't see a major thread for this test so... who else is taking it this Tuesday?</p>
<p>I'm in an AP psych class but still need to do a bit of studying. I was thinking we could throw out random psych questions like other AP threads do. I think it's really helpful!</p>
<p>How much are you planning to study/cram?</p>
<p>And who'd like to start and tell us about Kohlberg and his lovely stages?!</p>
<p>Yea, I am also taking it on Tuesday. Planning to cram this weekend while also cramming for Ap Phys B and AP Eng Lang. Do you have a good site for cramming per chance? And I think that Kohlberg was the guy with stages of morality, but I don’t remember what the stages were lol.</p>
<p>Lmao, I was too ambitious in February; I registered for the AP and I still haven’t started reading the Barron’s material, let alone review. I don’t mind getting lower than a 5 but I think it looks bad for colleges to see someone not get a 5 on a course that they basically chose to take without classes.</p>
<p>I’m using cliffsnotes guide for AP Psych right now. its about 125 pages of review material that is incredibly well packed. It looks like an awesome review book. I actually found this one online for free after buying the princeton review book only to find cliffs notes beats it out pretty well (shorter in terms of pages + more detailed)</p>
<p>@dipole thanks man, I have the 5 steps to a 5 guide myself so I’m using that for the time being but if there’s anything slightly more condensed I’d be down for that too.</p>
<p>Wow… good luck you guys haha! I recommend flashcards for vocab and names of the biggies. I’d say Kohlberg is a biggie :P</p>
<p>There’s a website that is something like appsychology.com and it has some interesting/useful resources once you get past the flower power. :)</p>
<p>Kohlberg had 8 stages of morality… they were things like Intimacy vs. Isolation for 40-65 years old and on the rest I’m totally blanking! Ahh</p>
<p>I’m taking it too, I think it will be ridiculously easy. Just allll vocab. Gonna worry more about Biology though…</p>
<p>Haha, Kohlberg had <em>three</em> stages of morality: Preconventional, Conventional, and Postconventional. 
The guy with the eight stages was Erik Erikson, who studied the psychosocial aspect of development. </p>
<p>For review, if you go the website for the Myers 9th edition AP Pysch book, the book companion site has (relatively easy) quizzes, virtual flashcards, diagrams, etc. It’s worth a peek. Also, you can take the Sparknotes AP Pysch test for a projection of your actual exam score.</p>
<p>Yes I have to take the psych/apes duo on Tuesday, and I took the history doublet yesterday, so today I’m virtually incapable of studying ANYTHING</p>
<p>^Taking the Chem and Psych “duo” on Tuesday. I can honestly say that I am more prepared for Chem than Psych…</p>
<p>i think studying the terms and vocab for AP Psych is useful.</p>
<p>Try taking the terms for Princeton Review and make online flashcards, though there are well over 500 terms…Remember to put the psychologist involved/related to the term.</p>

<p>Yeah, terms, people and theories…the way to go. If you’ve ever taken a science course the studies should be fine. And an anatomy or biology course pretty much wraps up the biology part.</p>
<p>Yeah Kohlberg did have the three stages. For erikson, we really only need to know identity and intimacy.</p>
<p>Oops! Man I thought I knew Kohlberg for sure haha. bahh</p>
<p>And I second using Myer’s website. We use his textbook and it’s a nice brief refresher for before chapter tests and I’m sure the flashcards/quizzes would help for the AP test too :)</p>
<p>Does anyone know the grading breakdown for psych in specific?</p>
<p>I know this much:</p>
<p>Multiple choice accounts for 100 pts. while the frq makes up the remaining 50 pts.</p>
<p>How much would you need in order to get a 5?</p>
<p>I heard that all you need is a 93/150 in order to pull off that 5.
For insight on how simple the test is, I just scored an 83/100 on the mc in half the alotted time, meaning that at that all I would mathematically need is a 10/50 on the frq for a 5. </p>
<p>I took the 2004 actual AP exam by the way, not the cookie-cutter barrons, PR, cliffs.</p>
<p>Anybody knows if cramming the 2008 Green Barron’s book will work?</p>
<p>How can we approach the 2 essays we need to write in 45 minutes?</p>
<p>More like 100-110 to get a five…it’s not that low…I took several APs Psych released exams and they’ve been the same way.</p>
<p>is crash course any good?</p>
<p>from what ive heard…this is the easiest AP exam of them all. As for the free response…generally they will give you a situation along with several terms. All you have to do is incorporate the terms in your essay and relate them to the situation with psychology. Only hard part is making sure you are familiar with all psychological terminology because if you stumble upon one you dont know…then there could be a problem. so in preparation for the essay part…and in fact the whole exam itself…vocabulary, vocabulary, vocabulary…</p>
<p>Oh jeez, I have this RIGHT after my chem exam on the same day. And I feel kinda screwed for this. Is Princeton Review good? I’m just reading through it, hoping to retain most of it</p>
<p>i have the environmental test in the morning and then psych in the afternoon, definitely not looking forward to 2 term-driven tests in a row</p>
