About
A comprehensive course overhaul of AP Psychology from a self-taught 5 scorer. This course is tailored to the AP curriculum. We will cover everything you need to know in seven sessions! However, if you are generally interested in studying or learning about psychology, I think you would find an interest in this course as well. There will be one session for each of the 5 units, an introductory session, and an additional session to break down the contents of the test and tips. There is a lack of free materials and study guides for AP Psychology, so materials to help you study will be provided. Time will be reserved for questions at the end of each session, but you are encouraged to ask questions during the session as well. I hope to help all of you understand psychology and earn a 5 on your exam! 🧠👩🔬
Practice and Review Materials
- In every session, we will have practice questions to answer, and the discussion sessions will involve interactive games to help you
