<p>I self-studied it using Barron's, but after taking the Diagnostic Test I only answered 58/100 of the questions correctly and failed the free-response. My mind went blank on so many questions.</p>
<p>1) How can I improve my score or what's a good way to study?
2) Is the actual test easier or harder?
3) Where can I find a list of all the psychologists that appears on CollegeBoard's course description?</p>
<p>I don't think making 1000 flash cards or re-reading the book is a good idea for me since I be preparing for many other APs this month.</p>
<p>I got raped by last year’s test so I’m not the best guy to help you out, but:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>It was basically all vocab, andd problems like “Jennifer has this symptom and thinks this… which of the following does she have?” So I guess you should become somewhat familiar with disorders since that seemed to be a big part of it.</p></li>
<li><p>Actual test was harder. It actually seemed really easy when taking it, but I got a 1 so go figure. I didn’t know what “Vestibular System” was so on one of the essays I got screwed, but otherwise the essays are mad simp and the MC’s are tough.</p></li>
<li><p>I don’t think there was anything about perspectives or history. But obviously it’s a whole new test this year.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>3) Where can I find a list of all the psychologists that appears on CollegeBoard’s course description?</p>
<p>See Chapter 17 in REA’s new AP Psychology Crash Course book. The chapter provides a description of each of the 62 psychologists that are specifically mentioned in the College Board’s Course Description booklet. This is a very useful chapter in an excellent book.</p>
<p>BTW - the vestibular system provides a sense of balance and equilibrium. The inner ear contains receptors that are especially important for maintaining balance.</p>
