<p>1) Is there any kind of interpretation-like material? OR, is it just pure memorization?</p>
<p>2) will a prep book only suffice? (Barron’s)</p>
<p>3) When should I start studying? </p>
<p>THANKS!</p>
<p>1.) For the most part, it is not pure memorization. The application of the material is usually very straightforward, though. </p>
<p>2.) Yes.</p>
<p>3.) Whenever. :)</p>
<p>1) From what I’ve heard, it is common-sense and memorization. What silverturtle said.</p>
<p>2) Yes, I know people have studied the weekend before the test and scored 5’s with solely the Barron’s Prep book. I hear Cliffnotes is pretty useful as well.</p>
<p>3) Procrastination is bad.</p>
<ol>
<li>By looking at the past Free-Response, there is application.</li>
<li>Barrons will suffice. </li>
<li>Any time you want. My friend started in March and received a 5.</li>
</ol>
<p>^^Glad that you’re still helping people, silverturtle, despite your comment in HSL’s “Post your random thoughts.”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, I was just a little frustrated. However, my comment was made mostly in exaggerative jest.</p>
<p>1) Application is emphasized, but you might want to memorize some psychologists and get the basic gist of what they did. </p>
<p>2) Yes. </p>
<p>3) Earlier is better, but do try to re-read the prep book again at least two nights before you take the exam.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>You need to memorize all the vocabulary for each chapter. Some MC questions will be straight up definitions, while others require you to apply a concept to a situation/ recognize a concept in a given event. It is pretty straightforward.</p></li>
<li><p>Barron’s is great. Crash Course is as well :)</p></li>
<li><p>I had an excellent teacher who had us use Barron’s starting in mid-late March. We finished the book on a very manageable schedule.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>This thread really helped answer some of my questions.</p>
