** official ap psychology 2013 thread **

<p>I did a released exam the night before and got an 86/100 and let me just say starting off with the very first question on today’s exam I was stumped. I prob missed a lot…it was a lot harder than I expected. Very upset. Hopefully I got a 4, if not a 5.</p>

<p>^ I kind of feel the same way. On a lot of them it just came down to 2 answers…</p>

<p>Last year’s MC was really easy. I finished the multiple choice early enough to double and triple check my answers, but the FRQ was fairly difficult. I had gotten a really inconsistent score on the practice tests, but I was sure that on the MC I got at least 90% of the questions right so I didn’t mind BSing part of of the FRQ LOL. Apparently this year’s AP psych exam was a lot harder than last year’s though, bah. Did anyone self-study using Barron’s?</p>

<p>I’m not going to lie. This test better have a generous curve. There were so many topics I never learned.</p>

<p>I am so mad! I was in a hurry on the frq that I mixed retroactive with proactive. I feel sooo dumb! :(</p>

<p>@Rishab same but reading through this thread I apparently made the wrong judgment and chose the wrong ones. Even for the first one I was torn between 2 and I ended up chosing the wrong one according to what people on here chose -___- i literally changed my answer to #1 three times going back and forth b/t the 2 answers. I did that for a lot of questions actually. Ugh</p>

<p>Hey guys, with the standard deviation problem with 87, 100, and something else, was one under the average, one the same, and the other over?</p>

<p>^That’s what I put. haha Nuring Girl, that happens to me on a lot of tests because I just get too paranoid -__-</p>

<p>My teacher gave me the 2007 exam and I got my hopes up, then I get this dreadful exam. They aren’t even similar in difficulty. Today’s was way harder.</p>

<p>I screwed up and I started my FRQ on the second page instead of the first, is this going to affect my score much? :(</p>

<p>Probably not. I had a problem and called collegeboard and they said they really just care about content</p>

<p>Did you guys use signal detection theory as an answer to 2 of the MC?</p>

<p>For the first FRQ with the schedules of reinforcement, I only wrote about the variable ratio and variable interval. I completely forgot about the fixed ratio & interval tho… would I still get a point or no?</p>

<p>isn’t average range considered as within one standard deviation from the mean?</p>

<p>If I wrote about continuous reinforcement along with fixed-ratio, would I be ok?</p>

<p>I remember using signal detection theory as an answer near the end. Do you remember the other question for what it was used for?</p>

<p>holsen I was thinking the same thing. However now I think I got another wrong :(</p>

<p>You guys are probably right then. I saw one which in the middle for which I had no clue for so I just guessed signal detection. We can agree thought that it was indeed used at the end.</p>

<p>I think that I got about 80 or so MC. However, for the second MC, I completely skipped over the part about the group being 60+ (so like I just thought both groups had people who were only less than 25). This meant that for the faulty experiment, I said that the groups did not represent the whole population, and that they should include older people (though I never said they should include younger people). I also talked about fluid intelligence from the youth standpoint. </p>

<p>I also only talked about continuous and variable interval reinforcement for the 1st FRQ, and I missed the source amnesia one.</p>

<p>Chances for a 5?</p>

<p>LaPanthere, no one can possibly answer that. Someone will say 5, you’ll get a 4. Someone will say 20%, you’ll get a 5.</p>
