PREFACE
Welcome to the new edition of this test preparation book for AP Psychology
that includes information from DSM-5. If you don’t know what DSM-5 is,
you will soon. The book has been designed so that it is user-friendly and
employs the concepts psychologists know about learning and remembering to
help you succeed. Each chapter begins with an advance organizer to help you
understand the material. Smaller sections enable you to fit what you are
learning into the framework of what you already know. Features that
previous users found most helpful, such as the definitions in the glossary at
the end of the book, questions very similar to those actually on the AP exam,
and Rapid Review at the end of each content chapter have been retained.
If psychology were mainly common sense, as many people think, you
wouldn’t need this book. You wouldn’t need to study either. In fact, many
concepts in psychology are counterintuitive, the opposite of what common
sense leads us to think. Actually, psychology is a real science with a
substantial knowledge base. If you are currently enrolled in an Advanced
Placement Psychology course, you know how much more than listening to
people’s problems and analyzing them is included in the study of psychology,
and you know how many hundreds of pages you need to navigate in a hard-
covered course textbook. If you’re not enrolled in an AP course, you may
need additional support to help you select material that is likely to be tested
on the May exam. In either situation, you’ll benefit from this book, which
was created to help you study for the Advanced Placement Exam in
Psychology®.
This book provides you with the information on which you need to focus
for taking the Advanced Placement Exam in Psychology® and gives you
opportunities to practice answering AP-type questions. The multiple-choice
questions count for two-thirds of your test score, and the essays count for
one-third. While multiple-choice questions usually assess your understanding
of one concept, essays test your understanding of numerous concepts and
your ability to integrate information from more than one chapter. Practice in
