AP Psychology

<p>This site was posted earlier, and it seems to have everything for a last minute review of certain sections.</p>

<p>[AP</a> PSYCHOLOGY EXAM REVIEW](<a href=“http://wchs.woodfordschools.org/apreview/default.htm]AP”>http://wchs.woodfordschools.org/apreview/default.htm)</p>

<p>Very thorough.</p>

<p>Can someone explain standard deviation? I understand what it is but I don’t know how to do questions like these:</p>

<p>If the variance of a set of scores is 100, the standard deviation will be
a. 5
b. 10
c. 25
d. 50
e. 125</p>

<p>Variance = Standard Deviation Squared.
Therefore, Square root of variance = S.D</p>

<p>So for your question, the answer is 10.</p>

<p>If anyone feels that the exposure to a representative sample of the material before the test is in any way beneficial, please access the link below for a full practice exam:</p>

<p>It is, of course, advisable to only complete a mere portion of the exam.</p>

<p>I have a good one for “hippocampus.” The hippocampus is responsible for memory and you would remember if you saw a hippo on campus!</p>

<p>^I remember it because I was thinking “Oh, memory like a hippo!” Then I realized that’s elephant. And now I remember my stupidity, and thus, the term hippocampus :D</p>

<p>I have taken one practice exam recently (the 2004 test) and achieved approximately 135/150 (the cutoff was about 100 for a 5 I believe), so I feel confident for tomorrow. I have yet to take a Chemistry practice test, however.</p>

<p>Ouch Chemistry and Psych? And if I remember correctly they’re one after the other. Psych is not that challenging, but after Chem I would be out of gas. Good luck!</p>

<p>^ Thanks. Yes, I am glad that Psychology succeeds Chemistry, as I certainly expect the latter to be more taxing.</p>

<p>My school doesn’t offer AP Psych, but I really want to take it online… do I do it through collegeboard? I looked on the website and couldn’t find anything, I guess I have to call up, or what?</p>

<p>What’s reticular formation?</p>

<p>^ I believe it is a part of the brainstem that controls arousal, but someone can correct me if not.</p>

<p>yeah it is. thanks for reminding me.</p>

<p>what are human factors?</p>

<p>yep, that’s reticular formation. it’s in the midbrain too. and snoopydog1—just go buy a Barron’s book and self-study. easy as that.</p>

<p>I’m in the same boat as you, silverturtle! Good luck to both of us!</p>

<p>haha, I’m the same boat as well. Good luck, you guys!</p>

<p>I wish I had “eidetic” memory so I wouldn’t have to rely on my feeble “semantic” memory.</p>

<p>I am so occupied with ES, that I don’t have time for Psych :frowning: :cry: :sad:</p>

<p>In what psychosocial stage do we begin to assume roles and stuff? I picked Identity versus Role Confusion but they said it was industry versus inferiority on the ap psych 1999.</p>

<p>bljd- really? wow. ok.</p>
