Hey guys, so I'm on my journey to conquer the AP Psych exam... thought it would be wise to practice FRQs. Anybody got good sources to hit up, preferably ones similar to what they present on the actual exam?
AP Psychology free response questions (FRQs) can be a challenge, but practicing them regularly can really enhance your understanding and help you feel more prepared for your exam.
Here are a few resources you might find helpful:
1. College Board: One of the best resources to find authentic AP Psych FRQs is the AP students section on the College Board's website. They offer past years' free-response questions and scoring guidelines. This can be extremely beneficial because it not only prepares you with questions that have previously appeared on the exam, but it also helps you understand how the responses are graded.
2. CollegeVine: CollegeVine offers AP Psychology study articles on its blog which include a breakdown of the course content, as well as key strategies for tackling the multiple-choice and free-response sections of the exam. This can help you get familiar with how to approach FRQs.
3. Khan Academy: Khan Academy's AP Psychology course includes practice exercises, quizzes, and test tips. Although their resources are not exclusively focused on the free-response section, they do offer comprehensive material that can help you understand key concepts that might appear in FRQs.
Remember, when you're practicing, try to put yourself in a 'mock exam' scenario and stick to the time limits. This will help you manage your time more effectively on the actual exam. Also, after you've written your responses, revisit the scoring guidelines and see where you could improve.
Best of luck with your AP Psych studies!
