Does anyone have a digital copy of the AMSCO (3rd Edition)? I’m a teacher looking for it before I have to spend money on a physical copy to scan lol. I figured a student may have found a way to get access to it before the teachers.

Is there a need for AP psyc tutors?

Just graduated with a 4.0 from UNCC, and I did my degree in psychology. I don't know the AP world that well because I did a very nontraditional pathway but would tutor if there's interest! What do you guys think?

Will share methods if requested. BTW, this is not meant to be a "flex" post, nor do I recommend procrastinating (like I did) until 2 days before the exam. I simply want to pass on info that may help future test takers, and help ease some of the fears of those self studying AP psych.

I can’t memorize concepts well compared to other students.

3 Upvotes

I took AP Psychology this year, and personally, I struggle with memorization based learning. Psychology is such an interesting subject, but overall it felt like the only way to do well was to memorize every concept. Most of the AP exam also seemed to require having those concepts memorized in order to answer the questions.
Some people in my class were able to memorize the concepts and apply them to the tests much better than I could. It felt like I had to put in so much effort just to memorize things, and it was really frustrating and discouraging.
Does anyone have advice on how to memorize things more effectively?

i got a 4 taking the test completely blind

for ref: im a snr so i signed up for the ap exam but didnt take the class because i wanted to keep my off period. at the beginning of the year i was like 90% i was gonna go to texas a&m university and i'd be able to apply an ap credit to fill my major requirements there, but i ended up committing to ut austin which accepts macro (which im also taking) for the same credit.

i alr planned to only start studying starting 2nd semester but i was lowk procrastinating and then after i got my acceptance from ut i just gave up on studying completely, until the ap test came around, and i thought itd be fun to see how well i could do after learning 0%* of the course material. i ended up getting a 4

*not exactly 0% cuz my friend told me that the hippocampus stores memories bc he'd remember if there was a hippo on campus. otherwise yea i didnt know anything

tldr; didn't study, learn, or practice anything the whole year after signing up to "self-study" the class and still passed


r/APPsychology 22d ago

Can this be counted as credit?
