<p>I am taking regular psych in hs with the intention of self studying a little to take the ap in may... but it turns out that the class is all bs and we talk about our feelings and life the whole year. What do you suggest I do to prepare for the exam then? Should I buy a textbook or just a study guide? Which book(s)? How early should I prepare for the exam and how long each day?</p>
<p>You could get a 5 reading only the Barron’s ap psych book</p>

<p>Why didn’t you take ap psych? They didn’t have space?
Barron’s got really good reviews. As far as the reviews go, all the psych books pretty much are good and go over the same things.

<p>I think you’d be fine if you just read through the study guide and maybe bought some flashcards (or you could make your own).</p>
<p>If you’re not busy, start from the beginning of the school year. Or you could buckle down and really study a couple of months ahead of the test, like 2-3 months. Maybe 1 hour a day.</p>
<p>I’ll give a third recommendation for Barron’s AP Psych. It’s what I used this year and, while I only got a 4, I would recommend it. Just give yourself enough time to read and review everything. </p>
<p>(I’m pretty sure I only got a 4 because I was using it for cramming/learning the weekend before the exam, and we were in Wildwood for indoor percussion championships with the exam being the day after we got back.)</p>
<p>yeah. AP Psych exam is really easy. I … sorta signed up for it during exam registration and forgot to study for it… so with NO subject material and basic science knowledge i got a 3.</p>
<p>@div301 LOL “I sorta signed up for it and forgot to study for it…” If that were me, I would have been freaking.</p>
