<p>Is it possible to take this course without any background info? i wasn't able to take psych 1 this year as a sophomore, so that rules out the possibility of psych 2.... So in my junior year could i be successful with this course? My school has no prerequisites for AP Psych... so i was just wondering</p>

<p>*sorry if this was a rant</p>

<p>I don't see why not. I'm self studying it without any previous knowledge either.</p>

3

<p>definitely. psych is the easiest AP course... everyone in my school takes it with no background knowledge whatsoever, and there were 10 4s/5s last year.</p>

4

<p>Absolutely. I plan on taking AP psych next year, my junior year, and I have no formal education in it. I’ve actually taken a practice AP test and gotten a four - it’s pretty easy, I promise.</p>

5

<p>Psych itself I believe is kinda a rare course at high schools, so the vast majority of those taking AP are going into it without having been previously exposed to it.</p>

<p>I took AP psych this year without a prerequisite course… it’s easy.</p>

7

<p>I self-studied AP Psych this year (sophomore) without ANY knowledge at all. I used Barron’s, and a lot of my friends that took Psych I and II at my school pretty much only used Barron’s as well.</p>

<p>Yeah, I agree with everyone else. I think the psych test is fair, though the curve is probably harsh because of it. I took AP Psychology this year without any background knowledge, and I THINK I did fine on the test. Good luck!</p>

<p>it was basically a self study course for us… out of the 14 barrons chapters, we learned probably around 5-6 during the course of a whole year in class… i saw+studied the other 8 the night before the ap exam and i thought it was pretty good</p>

<p>plus the only prereq in our school is like a B- or better in previous history classes and decent writing skills</p>

<p>Yeah you probably could. From what I’ve heard it’s just a more detailed general psych course. So basically it would just be more in depth than a normal psych class.</p>

<p>Barron’s and a day or two to study = 4 or 5</p>
