<p>Trying to get straight As in this class. So for those who took this class, what tips or advice can you give me</p>

2

<p>Get the Barron's book. Half the time I didn't even read the text and just read that. I got an A in the class and a 5 on the exam.</p>

3

<p>Yep, Barron's is the best for Psych.</p>

4

<p>Ok cool.</p>

<p>So the barrons book will also help with the class?</p>

5

<p>^It should. I found the Barron's book to be sufficient for a great score on the actual exam, so It should be fine for class use.</p>

6

<p>so you can get a 5 on the exam by just reading the Barrons book but not taking the class?</p>

7

<p>^ yup<br>
.</p>

8

<p>^^yea, pretty much. It doesn't take long at all either. An afternoon or two of nonstop studying could get you a 5.</p>

9

<p>^ wow...</p>

<p>10 char</p>

10

<p>^Yea, I know, but it's the truth. I got a 4 after only studying the day before (I slept about 3 hours that night because I'm a slow reader). So I imagine I would've gotten a 5 if I was diligent and studied when I was supposed to.</p>

<p>It's such an easy test, yet they curve it so nicely. You only need 101/150 to get a 5. However, they might raise the curve a bit this year, since so many ccers are self-studying it.</p>

<p>barron's ap psych was written by one of our teachers at our school...
