<p>Vocab vocab vocab.
Make flashcards with vocabulary terms and major theories with names of scientists (you should know Erikson, Freud, etc). If you don’t get something from just the book definition write an example for yourself. For example, I didn’t get the Yerkes-Dodson theory until I experienced it firsthand so now I have that scenario written on my flashcard. </p>

<p>Getting a review book is a good idea as well. I like Barron’s</p>

<p>^ That post about sums it up. AP Psych is essentially vocabulary-based, and the exam is perhaps one of the easiest as a result. You’d be best off getting your hands on the Barron’s AP Psych review book, and Googling 1) a list of vocabulary terms you should be familiar with (my teacher actually provided us with a list of 400 important words that we have to define as a review project), and 2) theories/theorists/experiments you should know (at least briefly).</p>

<p>You can get by with Barron’s and Google.</p>

<p>And if you <em>really</em> want the textbook, you can get the 7th edition for ~$4 on <a href=“http://www.betterworldbooks.com%5B/url%5D”>www.betterworldbooks.com</a>.</p>

<p>^ My teacher gave us a huge list last week and I believe it’s the same one you are using!
It’s very easy to learn them at this point. If you have questions, feel free to PM me but there are also powerpoints out there that will do the job as well. You got this :)</p>
