AP Psychology Study Group 2011

<p>Uh, we aren’t allowed to outline??</p>

<p>Like, I answered it by writing [A. bullet: mult sentences that answer the question]. I read a post up there saying this is not allowed?!</p>

<p>No, you can. My teacher told us to.</p>

<p>Barron’s helped so much with a bunch of that. However, there were a few things on the MC I’ve never seen before. Pretty easy though, in my opinion.</p>

<p>The AP Psych test that I took last year wasn’t too bad. What type of stuff did they have on this year’s free response?</p>

<p>We can’t discuss for 48 hours. The MC was pretty easy with just a couple of weird ones, while the FRQ was pretty simple also with maybe 1 or 2 things I’ve forgotten. Needless to say, I’m shooting for a 5.</p>

<p>@patw17 You must be one of those people planted by the ETS to try and tempt us to break the rules. Not gonna happen, sister.</p>

<p>For people who are considering self-studying AP Psych, I would definitely recommend it. This was my first AP and I felt great about it. I just started reading Barron’s in early April, read some past FRQs yesterday, and took a few practice tests. Pretty simple for the most part.</p>

<p>I saw someone’s earlier post, was it really on stats. How awful???</p>

<p>I just wanna pass and i feel i did horrible! The mc was easy at first then ultra-hard! then the frq’s just killed me…</p>

<p>@TenebrousNight I took that advice when I signed up for both Psych and ES without a class. Needless to say, procrastination narrowed down by studying time to what I could fit in the past week. I was cramming to the max. </p>

<p>Last night, I was really regretting taking on two tests without forceful study (as one would experience, to some degree, in a formal course). Now, I’m glad I did it. I think it’ll be at least 4’s on both, but I’ve got higher hopes for Psych.</p>

<p>It was somewhat harder than I thought, but I still think I did really well.</p>

<p>@bes Yeah, well for me, I started early April, which means that I had time to take 4 practice tests and look over past FRQ’s before the actual test, so I feel pretty good.</p>

<p>MC was rape compared to the released tests (except maybe the audit…)… I accidentally skipped 4 which is the dumbest thing you can do now that there is no penalty… UGH… studying did help but there was so much on there that I never would have run into and my review books/teacher/cram packet didnt discuss… I still loved the course. My favorite in high school to date… The first FRQ was weird for me to grasp… I got at least 3 points… LOL… some of the stuff I could see examples in my head but not define… 2nd FRQ was definitely very fair and I nailed everything. It looks like it might be a 4… :(… I’m hoping there will be an easier curve since this test appeared harder than ones in the past, and the first FRQ struck me as a little esoteric though not in left field… Do you guys think ETS made the test harder to compensate for the lack of the guessing penalty?</p>

<p>statistics are a part of the ap psych curriculum, nothing too advanced really.</p>

<p>LOL you thought the mc was hard? there like 10 possibly difficult questions.</p>

<p>@besjbo- not quite an ETS person, but I can see why my question might make you think that I was one. LOL!!! Anyways, hope you did well on the test.</p>

<p>:( Don’t laugh at me… Our teacher taught us a LOT of stuff, but I have no idea how she would have fit all the stuff we didnt learn into the school year. Literally every class was jam-packed, so I won’t blame her… I may also be hard on myself because I was frustrated with running out of time and I know I did way better than my classmates.</p>

<p>This was me after reading the first FRQ: [YouTube</a> - CAR EXPLODING](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qt5KJ4ILMY&feature=related]YouTube”>CAR EXPLODING - YouTube)</p>

<p>I literally had no previous knowledge of psych, read barrons yesterday for the 1st and only time, and I am pretty sure I got at least a 4, maybe a 5 if my educated guesses are right on the 20 or so MC I wasnt entirely sure about. I thought the FR was easy peasy, the terms were almost self-explanatory.</p>

<p>Pretty sure I got a 5 from talking about stuff yesterday on this thread, helped me review a lot…now to study for Euro… eff.</p>
