Hey folks! As I'm gearing up for the upcoming AP Psych test, I really need some solid resources for FRQ practice. Any good websites or online resources you guys recommend? Or even effective offline strategies if you've got any. The more practice I can get, the better, right? Thanks!
Hello! Absolutely, practice makes perfect. Let's talk about some resources.
One of the best resources for practice FRQs for AP Psychology (or any AP class, for that matter) is the College Board’s AP student website. It's the organization that creates and administers the AP exams, and they provide free-response questions from previous years, along with scoring guidelines and sample student responses. It's a great firsthand look at what you'll be dealing with on test day.
Also, Khan Academy has excellent resources for many AP subjects including Psychology. They offer not only practice questions but also videos to aid your understanding of the material.
For offline strategies, you can make use of textbooks and review books. The Barrons and 5 Steps to a 5 series generally offer a lot of practice questions and FRQs, as well as comprehensive content review.
No matter which resources you choose, remember to take timed practice tests. This will really help you get used to the pacing of the test and ensure you're able to get through all the FRQs during the actual exam.
Good luck with your preparations!
