How To Use This Book
The purpose of this book is to provide you with the best possible
preparation for the AP Psychology exam. Using the tools included in this
book will help you prepare for success on exam day.
DIAGNOSTIC TEST
A diagnostic test is included to help you gauge how best to prepare for the
exam. You may wish to take this test after you have been exposed to all the
information provided by your class but before you begin to study. The
Multiple-Choice Error Analysis Sheet is intended to help you identify your
areas of relative strength and weakness. Notice that the Multiple-Choice
Error Analysis Sheet is organized according to the chapter titles you can
find in the textbook you used in your AP Psychology class. This should help
you use information from the diagnostic test to determine what chapters
to review in the textbook. For each of the 14 chapters, compute the
percentage of questions you answered correctly. In this test, the number of
questions on a topic is indicative of the amount of attention the topic
typically receives on the exam. Therefore, you should spend the most time
studying the areas on which many questions were asked and you got a
relatively low percentage of them correct.
REVIEW AND PRACTICE

Loading page 14...

This review is organized in nine units that are comprised of 14 chapters.
The College Board recently revised the way they organized materials for
the AP Psychology course. The textbook you use for your AP Psychology
course probably includes about 14 chapters. The College Board grouped
these chapters into nine overall units.
Multiple-choice practice questions and explanations of the correct
answers are provided at the end of each review chapter. We recommend
that you first review the material in the chapter and then answer all the
review questions in order to test your comprehension.
Because this is a review book, our aim is to include only that
information you need to know for the exam. Nonetheless, some of this
information is particularly important, and we convey that fact by
highlighting such material as Tips. Important terms and people appear at
the beginning of each chapter and are set in bold in the text. They can also
be found in the index.
To help you prepare for the exam, Chapter 15 presents a group of
testing tips and Chapter 16 focuses on how to answer the free-response
questions. We included a discussion of how best to approach the essays
and also provide a number of examples of the kinds of essay questions
likely to appear on the exam. We also include model essay answers to give
you an idea of what the readers of the exam are looking for.
PRACTICE TESTS
At the end of the book we included two full-length practice exams. Keep in
mind that taking a practice exam under actual testing conditions (all at

once and within the time limit) is always best. Every exam includes an
explanation of the correct answers as well as an Error Analysis Sheet.
ONLINE PRACTICE
In addition to the diagnostic test and two practice tests within this book,
there are also three full-length online practice exams. You may take these
exams in practice (untimed) mode or in timed mode. All questions include
answer explanations.
FOR STUDENTS
The organization of this book should closely match the textbook you use in
your classroom. How you use the book depends on how your school offers
the course. Nevertheless, by answering the review questions at the end of
each chapter and by taking the practice tests, you will have an indication
of how well you will do on the actual exam.
FOR TEACHERS
Suggest to your students that they use this book along with their textbook.
If you develop your own assignments and tests around the course
framework, this book should offer your students the opportunity to use the
material for review.
