<p>I’m also taking it as an AP course, she never gave us anything to study in particular, but perhaps that’s because I skipped Psych 1/2. She did tell me to study particularly dreams and the nervous system, including the brain.</p>
<p>We haven’t even gotten our textbook yet -.- I hope my teacher isn’t a flake, because he still hasn’t posted ANYTHING to that blog.</p>
<p>@Steff That sounds like a good book, because you can even see it in high school. We only have a few black kids in our school, and they stick together pretty uniformly. Our USH teacher talked to us about this (she also teaches the Psych elective), and it’s because they’re ingrained with the idea from youth that they’re different from the white kids. Because of this, they find that their skin color with other black kids is common ground for friendship. Since this is happening at such an early age, and since the kids probably live in the same environment, the kids are going to grow up together with the same interests, furthering solidifying a friendship.</p>
<p>Seems like a truly interesting book to consider, I will maybe read it in mid-july. I also plan to read some of Augusten Burroughs’s novels, I think his novels have a unique identity to them, and helps me broaden my view when reading psychology themes.</p>
<p>What about psychology did he write on? Maybe I’ll consider doing some prep.</p>
<p>It’s not very psychology, if viewed in the literary perspective. However, when analyzed, his biographies and nonfictional novels serve as great examples to analyze and relate to psychological themes like learning, psychosexual stages, eating disorders, etc…</p>
<p>Yay, Psych self-studiers! I already have Myers’ textbook and the Barron’s book, so I’ll probably just get Crash Course a week or two before the exam.</p>
<p>I’m taking the class next year, and i have the PR book. I am reading it all over the summer so the class comes easier to me :P</p>
<p>^I’m doing the same but with 5 steps. It’s a great idea, especially for this AP subject since it’s so easy to learn.</p>
<p>08239- When you posted your 2010 AP Scores you said you were a senior. How are you taking AP exams out of high school?</p>
<p>^My bad 08239, that was who you quoted…Sorry bro.</p>
<p>We dont have any summer assignments for AP Psych… :)</p>
<p>im using barrons 4th edition, i think my book is like a fake or a miscopy.</p>
<p>for a book with so many definitions, not a single word is bolded! they are italicized which is unlike my ap human geo book(bolded) and most other books. are your words italicized too if you have 4th ed?</p>
<p>^ unfortunately, they aren’t bolded. One of the only negatives for that book!</p>
<p>^ wow this is really disappointing</p>
<p>So i am also self studying and i have the barrons book what else do i need? is the test really as easy as you all claim?</p>
<p>^ Yes, it is really easy and straightforward. But don’t use this as an excuse to put studying on hold at the last minute :)</p>
<p>bump bump</p>
<p>this thread needs to be kept alive</p>
<p>I am also self-studying AP Psych. Should I get the crash course book along with barron’s?</p>
<p>I have only a month left gahhhh</p>
<p>^same boat as you.</p>
<p>I’ve studid a <em>little</em>. Barrons flash cards are A+ so far.</p>
<p>For those that are self-studying. How far have you actully got to? Are you finished the entire book yet?</p>
<p>I’m also self-studying for the AP Psych exam. I have the 5 Steps to a 5 book- does anyone know how reliable the practice tests in there are? Are they quite similar to the level of difficulty on the actual exam? I took a practice test and did well on that, so I hope those are similar questions…</p>
