<p>Long story short, my AP psy teacher is extremely boring so I haven't been really engaged with the curriculum. On top of that, I'm a senior, and have been diagnosed with senioritis since the start of the school year. Needless to say, I don't know a good portion of the material we were supposed to learn. However, I've heard that it's not difficult to self-study for the AP psy exam...</p>
<p>So... On estimate, how long do you guys think it would take to prepare and get a 4 or 5 on the exam... assuming I study out of a Barron's book and am a "normal" student.</p>
<p>start studying 2-3 months before the test I studied for 1 month and got a 4 but I tried really really hard. The barron’s book is great, some on the questions that were on the practice test were on the actual AP Test.</p>
<p>The Psych exam is really easy. Go buy the Barron’s (it’s really short) and just read through that. I’d start maybe 2 or 3 weeks before the exam depending on how confident you are.
Good luck!</p>
<p>^^I agree. Barron’s is like the Direct Hits of AP Psych. I have had many benefits from reading off Barron’s and I studied (or crammed) for 1 month and I got a 5. Great book.</p>
