Bump - Still not too late to start self-studying for this!

ElvenRanger

Thank you so much! Your posts have helped me finally make up my mind to self-study it.

So Barrons is sufficient? Do I even need to read the Myers textbook? I'm self-studying but I want to be prepared for my other AP's too.

seabasstiano

ElvenRanger

Yep, look at Equilibrium's post up above

@ElvenRanger: No problem - good luck!

Barron's is all you need - it covers nearly all the AP exam topics (95+%). It will probably be much easier to use Barron's as it focuses on preparation specifically for the AP Psych exam, whereas the Myer's book has much more detail and much less emphasis on the AP psych exam topics. Only buy the Myers book if you very interested in AP psych and want to learn more.

@seabasstiano: Yes! Many people start 1-2 months before the exam, so you're still pretty early.

Okay thanks Equilibrium! Do you mind if I PM you some questions about Cornell? It is one of my top choices.

Equilibrium

Hi Darthpwner, Sorry for the delay, and of course! I'd be happy to help in anyway I can.

Started studying for this in December.
Do you think this is too much with 7 other AP exams to study for?

Darthpwner

Depends which AP's

Equilibrium

I definitely would not encourage adding another AP to 7 APs. 7 APs is already very impressive and demanding, and self-studying for AP psych won't make a big difference on your academic credentials. However, it certainly is doable, but I'd only encourage doing so if you really are fascinated w/ psychology.
