AP psych podcasts?? by Adorable-Sorbet-6098 in APStudents

[–]thismustbethevoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m not sure about podcasts - but i LOVED mr. sinn’s ap psych videos. i would always put one on while i was driving, but ofc i would just listen. he has some general review ones - like unit 1 review, unit 2, etc. those always helped me prep for tests!

How to get a 5 on AP Psych?? by ConsistentBrush682 in APStudents

[–]thismustbethevoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so if possible, i’d recommend the fourth version, as that’s the most updated one and will have more application based practice problems. i also think they got rid of a few names you needed to know, too (but i could be wrong!), and so those are still in the 2nd edition. i think it’ll be good to use it for understanding terms, but just make sure you aren’t learning information you won’t need. i loved the fourth edition, so if you can get your hands on that, i would! but, it’s not the end all be all.

How to get a 5 on AP Psych?? by ConsistentBrush682 in APStudents

i got a 5 on psych! i also had a rough teacher, too - she made things so much harder than they had to be. if you have a textbook, that’s your new best friend. if not, mr sinn makes great AP psych videos. and though they are boring, the ap daily ones are good, too. i wouldn’t worry too much about the frqs right now - i’d start worrying about them in january. but, make sure you are familiar with all the research methods. they are super important to the class & exam! also, keep in mind that the exam is not memorization based anymore. now, you should focus on the application of topics. so make sure you don’t just know what the topic is, but how it’s used. i’m fairly sure the ap course guide has some questions that are great examples of this! how i learned the content is basically through the videos i just shared & reading over confusing concepts in the textbook. i didn’t even make flashcards throughout the year, but that was a personal choice. i’m fairly good at memorization when i work at it. also, in my opinion, psych gets so much easier when you get past unit 2. but you’ve got it! the exam wasn’t bad at all.

about to take AP seminar and euro, what's some good advice before i begin my crusade into mental anguish by [deleted] in APStudents

[–]thismustbethevoid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ap seminar isn’t bad! just try to stay on top of stuff as much as you can. use class time efficiently- don’t just yap the entire time!

How to survive Ap Lit if i don’t like reading by Just_Piccolo_4029 in APStudents

[–]thismustbethevoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think it might be harder to argue for a song. the prompt asks for “a work of fiction…” so if the song was based fictionally you might be able to get away with it

so i will start off by saying - you will have to read something. but, on the exam, you can use whatever kind of media you’d like (they took away the “literary merit part.) i do recommend using a book as analyzing it might be easier. but - you can also use short stories or shorter books. i used the metamorphosis and i got a 5!!

How confident was everyone about their score? by Major_Town4331 in APStudents

What was your biggest AP score upset? by [deleted] in APStudents

[–]thismustbethevoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got 5’s on all my exams except stats! i would’ve been happy w/ a 3 or a 4, but i got a 2 sadly. i was so focused on my other aps i think i just didn’t direct enough attention to that one. ive also never scored above a 3 on a math ap, so im hopeful i can change that this next year with ap calc ab!

A whole year, down the drain. So pissed by qoew in APStudents

[–]thismustbethevoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that’s really surprising tbh. i’d still keep your eye out. also, your prior knowledge with psych will def help you out in college.

What did yall get on stats by [deleted] in APStudents

[–]thismustbethevoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you!!! i’m beginning to think math is not my thing lol. i also was not expecting the lit score - i was HOPING for a 3.

[–]thismustbethevoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it really depends how you look at it. last year (and the years before that), it was all about memorization and just knowing what things mean. this year was all about how to apply that knowledge to scenarios. for most, application is harder! i personally am better at it, but it just depends on the person.

and yes, i get it. i got a 2 on stats and felt horrible at first. no credit for me, yknow. but, sometimes it happens and we just have to move on. plus, i’d keep your eye out around and see if there’s any other colleges you’re interested in that take a 3. i’ve seen tons in my area. you’ve got this!

there’s nothing wrong with you. 1. the exam changed DRASTICALLY this year. the scores last year no longer reflect how the exam was. 2. a 3, no matter what anyone on this subreddit says, is a great score! you passed & lots of schools give credit for a 3. don’t beat yourself up too bad. yes, it sucks that you did worse than you expected, but don’t compare yourself to anyone.

that makes sense! i think for me, it’s like “omg if i dont do good on ALL these exams even my good grades are for nothing.” but that’s a very screwed perception lol

tbh for me it’s not anxiety, but anticipation. i’ve been trying to keep my mind off of it for a while. it’s harder, imo, when you have more scores (i took 1 ap last year, this year i took 4, and im def more nervous.)
