<p>This year I plan on self-studying AP Psychology for May 2013. I finished the course content over summer as I am taking quite a few AP courses during the semester and would prefer to get this out of the way.</p>

<p>Here are some of my self-study resources for anyone else taking the AP test. All of these resources are on my server.</p>

<p>Link: [Index</a> of ./ap_psychology/](<a href=“http://files.achromaticcomputing.com/ap_psychology]Index”>http://files.achromaticcomputing.com/ap_psychology)</p>

<p>Thus far I have found several practice tests (PDF) and they are in its own directory. As the year progresses I will handwrite notes on particular topics and upload it to the /notes directory. At the moment I have two–motivation theories and psychotherapy.</p>

<p>In my notes I have added references to specific page numbers in each of the textbooks I use for more details on the topic. It may say, for example, ref. Myers 684.</p>

<p>All my notes are written using the following resources:
[Myers</a>, David: Psychology, 9th ed.](<a href=“http://worthpublishers.com/catalog/newcatalog.aspx?search=myers&isbn=1429215976]Myers”>http://worthpublishers.com/catalog/newcatalog.aspx?search=myers&isbn=1429215976)
[Wade</a>, Carole: Psychology, 8th ed.](<a href=“http://wps.prenhall.com/hss_wade_psychology_8/]Wade”>http://wps.prenhall.com/hss_wade_psychology_8/)
Barron’s AP Psychology
5 Steps to a 5: AP Psychology</p>

<p>Good luck to all self-studying psychology and hope you find my resources helpful.</p>

<p>Honestly, AP Psychology is one of the easier tests, I just used PR and I got a 5</p>

<p>Okay. I have PR and I plan on getting Barrons, which is definitely enough to get a 5.</p>

<p>Admittedly I am not the brightest AP student and I feel like I need to work harder than most of you guys to get a 5.</p>

<p>then go for it! it’s good that you know your abilities. I would also suggest some flashcards, I know those work wonders with me. I think Barron’s offers some that are pre-made but you can always buy bank ones and make them yourself.</p>

<p>kiwiasian If your school offers AP Psych, then consult with that teacher and try to get a textbook. That’s what I’m going to do to make things a lot easier.</p>
