Self Study for AP Psych

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>At my school, the AP Psychology class is INSANE compared to ALL other AP classes, including AP Chemistry (which I'm in right now). I did not want to take AP Psych because the workload would crush me and I would not have an A. Anyway, I am considering signing up to take the AP Exam after reading many posts on this forum that AP Psych is one of the easiest AP tests. I am going to be taking the AP World, AP Calc AB, AP Chem, and AP English Language tests since I am actually taking those classes. </p>

<p>To get to the point, how do you all recommend self-studying for the AP Psych test? Should I just get review books? If so, which ones are best? Should I supplement those review books by asking if I can borrow the textbook that is used in the class? What should I do. I feel that I can get a 5 if I just prepare properly and have sound advice on how to go about it. Any suggestions? Thanks!</p>

<p>Definitely get the Barron’s book and read and study through it a couple of times. I am currently taking the class, and my teacher recommends it.</p>

<p>I suggest asking the teacher for a book just in case any confusing concepts pop up. </p>

<p>Towards the AP exam date, purchase a few actual tests from CB and also do several of the practice essays on AP central. It shouldn’t be too bad! :)</p>

<p>Princeton Review is also very good, I bet you could get a 5 self-studying. And I agree with manu101 - definitely get some practice tests in</p>

<p>So I can get a 5 just by using the Barrons and Princeton Review books? Any tips other than taking practice tests and using practice essays?</p>
