AP Psychology Study Group 2011

<p>yeahhh…spring break was…studious. and yeahh the test from what i hear is easy</p>

<p>I thought my textbook was thorough, but haven’t had time to look at the notes, and I’m hoping my review book and flashcards are good enough. The textbook was helpful to read as a background thing in the summer though before AP prep- I’m not taking the class at school, but the teacher for regular Psych at my school (we don’t actually have AP Psych, people take regular psych and take the AP test since it’s regular but taught at an AP level for some reason…) gave me a college textbook for it, not the one they use in class apparently…</p>

<p>I have the 1994 test too but haven’t had time to do it; I did some other practice test instead. I might try to do that during either Theology tmrw since we’re just doing project presentations (which are boring and I already did mine last week!) or during AP English cause I’m not sure we’re doing much except talking about the AP test for Thursday.</p>

<p>weird, do you have Barrons?</p>

<p>Yeah, definitely do the AP Psych released tests –> Boost confidence.
Self-studying for the AP Psych test, at least from what I’ve heard, is easy. The lowest I’ve heard was a 4.</p>

<p>I have Barron’s flashcards which I’m going though right now, and then I have the 5 Steps to a 5 book.</p>

<p>Well if you have Barrons, then take the practice test, if you get 75% + youre definately getting a 5</p>

<p>mmkay, i havent ready the 5 steps book, but i hear good things</p>

<p>Barron’s tends to be most difficult on practice tests in general for AP subjects. I have Barron’s for AP English Lit & AP Calc this year, and those practice tests are more difficult than the real thing, I think, and that’s what I’ve heard too. </p>

<p>I like the 5 Steps book for AP Psych…explains most things really well I thought. It’s what the Psych teacher at my school recommended I get for self-studying.</p>

<p>HEY GUYS HAHA THIS MORNING there was only up to page 6. Well, Osama took away 1 hour of studying :/</p>

<p>Do you any of you guys know if we need to know where different things are in the brain?</p>

<p>Forgot all of it when school started, reviewed it over Christmas break of which I remembered none of what I read in the summer really. </p>

<p>***Relearning effect-
It will take less time to relearn material we previously encoded, even if we have “forgotten” what we learned previously.</p>

<p>Damn dude good luck, and yeah the Osama news is distracting me from “studying” . im tired of studying… and iluvpiano what grade ar eyou in?</p>

<p>^True fact.</p>

<p>ermm only a few thigns about the brain, not everything. reticular formation, corupus callosum, hypothalamus, thalamus, limbic system, forebrain, meispheres, and medulla maybe?</p>

<p>By spring break I started to remember stuff, and definitely from spring break to easter break, so yeah, that’s definitely the relearning effect! </p>

<p>JoalFL- I’m a senior. You?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>hmm, appass.com says that if i get 65% on MC and 5/8 for both FRQ’s i still get a 4, which is what i’m aiming for :D</p>

<p>Lol im a sophomore, thats suppose to be a freshman…</p>

<p>You’re a senior and you’re worried about the AP Psych test…
Sorry, I’m a bit flabbergasted.</p>

<p>let’s see…the one definition on post #215 I’m not sure of for brain info stuff is corpus callosum…that’s just the thing that covers some other stuff in the brain, right?</p>
