Official AP Psychology Review Thread

<p>“Perhaps we should all get a good night sleep and cram during school hours. (attempt to group all knowledge of psychology into 7 memories)”</p>

<p>You mean chunking?</p>

<p>Looks like I’m the last one here.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Okay I’m about to take this good luck everybody!!!</p>

<p>Whoo</p>

<p>I took the test and here’s what I thought!</p>

<p>MC was about average, I found myself with typically the same number of problems as most practice tests.</p>

<p>The FR was god-sent for me, I didn’t have to bs on anything except for I think two subquestions (which is good for me XD). I think that part went really well for me. </p>

<p>I’m thinking mid to high 4, low 5</p>

<p>I just finished and I agree with blindtrombonist. </p>

<p>MC was basically the same as always. Maybe a little tiny bit easier than I usually find it.</p>

<p>FRQ was great for me also. Only 2 subsections completely stumped me, on another 2 I was able to write something that sounded halfway decent and the rest was a piece of cake!</p>

<p>Hopefully a 5 but I wouldn’t mind a 4.</p>

<p>Yeah, MC was relatively easy, but some of the FRQ stumped me… I ended up bs-ing part of it.</p>

<p>MC was kind of the same for me too.</p>

<p>I LOVED FR. I guessed on two sub-questions and I think I guessed correctly, but I put one other possible definition/explanation for both of them just in case I guessed incorrectly and the original one isn’t scored. Hopefully I got points in there somewhere.</p>

<p>I skipped 10 MC and assuming that I got another 10 wrong, hopefully my FR would bring me to a low 5.</p>

<p>Also, while I was driving to school, “Brain Damage” by Pink Floyd came on… A SIGN?!? Lol.</p>

<p>And wow, I wish I had discovered this thread before just now. My school doesn’t offer Psych so I didn’t have anyone to review with.</p>

<p>I answered all of the MC, and only had to guess on 1 subset in the FRQ! I’m expecting a high 5. The Princeton review book really helped.</p>

<p>I was just curious if Barron’s helped. If you read it twice and kinda remembered everything, do you think it would be enough to score a 4? </p>

<p>Also, how did the MC’s compare in difficulty to the 2004 or 1999 released test?</p>

<p>^ Yeah, I think it was really easy. I read Barrons but not even completely. Answered all of em, may have missed one.</p>

<p>I did bad on FRQ though…</p>

<p>MC was really easy, though they focused a lot on disorders I thought, and I’m a little weaker on those. The second I saw the FRQs I let out a huge sigh of relief, they were really easy and didn’t test anything that required analysis or other concepts.</p>

<p>MC was definitely harder than all the released exams…i can attest to it.</p>

<p>Free response was a breeze.</p>

<p>there were 32 MC that i was not absolutely positive i got right…i only left one blank… there were three terms that i was unsure about on the FRQ, so i hopefully guessed right on at least one of them… id be happy with a 4</p>

<p>did anyone feel like they gave way too much time on the MC? i counted up my totals for each letter, then went back and reread every question to see if i thought i got it right, and still sat around for five minutes</p>

<p>“did anyone feel like they gave way too much time on the MC? i counted up my totals for each letter, then went back and reread every question to see if i thought i got it right, and still sat around for five minutes”</p>

<p>I know! I finished in 25 minutes and then slept for the remaining 45 minutes, lol</p>

<p>I agree… I had about 20 minutes of free time… so I was always going back to my “iffy” questions that apparently I got right, so yay… lol.</p>

<p>I had more than enough time on FR as well, so… this exam was just a cinch. Hopefully since all the CC-ers liked it, the curve isn’t too harsh.</p>

<p>Btw, going through this thread right before the exam = GREAT refresher. I got a few questions because of it, lol.</p>
