What is AP Psych like?

Is it more like a science course or a history course? I’m not sure if I want to take it or not.</p>

Lots and lots of terms and quite a few names.</p>

I’d say more science-y… but it’s considered a “soft science” (if that makes sense, lol)</p>

like said above, study vocab</p>

In my opinion, it’s more of a term-example kind of test. As long as you know or are familiar with many of the psych terms, you should do fine. Same goes with the FR section.</p>

If you can memorize terms, that’s all it really is.</p>

Well I self-studied it and took it… Bad Idea. I didn’t know so much of it is vocab! 90% of the test is vocab. Im sure I got a 1. I gotta self-study this again! Better to spend $$$ on ap test than spend $500-2k on Psych 101.</p>

Like people have been saying, its very vocab based. I self-studied a month in advance and got a 5, using barrons and this psych textbook [Psychology</a> [Book]](<a href=“Google Shopping - Product not found”>Google Shopping - Product not found)
It is a very easy ap class, if you can memorize things.</p>

Does a biology major have to take psych class in college? Or does it vary by colleges?</p>

The memorizing vocab part is what makes psychology easy. The laundry list of terms are mostly very intuitive so you don’t need to put in very much effort to encode it into your brain :)</p>

It’s definitely not difficult. I would say it’s a combination of science and history because you learn a lot about scientific studies (which in my opinion are the best part!) and terms like in history. But the terms are science-y, so I think its a win win for both science and history people.</p>

Quite a few of the terms are really easy to memorize- like it’s obvious what they mean by what the term is, so that makes AP Psych easy too.</p>
