I am officially obsessed with criminal minds

My ex girlfriend texted me and told me she still likes me, I’m not sure what to do

We took the top off of my car

My family built a retaining wall in the backyard

I had to call 911 during a parade for graduating seniors (my car passed the accident and I was the one to call for help)

I took my AP test and my computer crashed so I started screaming and crying (I submitted with 20 seconds left)

I “graduated”

Ew, they're almost here. Here's some advice from a tutor:

DON'T BUY THE EXPENSIVE STUDY GUIDES. If you actually learn from those, they often can be found in libraries. Other options include:

• crashcourse videos (though there are limited video courses for AP Environmnetal science.)

• khan academy (especially for Statistics.)

• quizlet

For writing, look at past essay examples.

Hey, I’m a junior + I took AP Psychology last year and scored a 5!! The class initially was already super interesting to me so I guess that helped, nevertheless here are lots of resources!

- this site has outlines for every chapter! just print them out, highlight and annotate, and you’re set https://www.apstudynotes.org/psychology/outlines/

- Another website with outlines, notes, and essays http://www.course-notes.org/psychology

- Aside from the above links, I also made my own outlines for any particular chapters that I really struggled with. For example, my History and Approaches Exam score was one of my lowest, so I went through the Barrons book + my notes making my own outline. This helps tremendously b/c you’re writing out the info. (which is proven to help memory) and you’re also creating a resource you can continuously look back on!

-BARRONS (had to put it in caps for all y’all Princeton stans) AP Psychology review book!! this is ESSENTIAL. I highlighted and annotated this throughout the year to prepare for chapter tests + then I reviewed the entire book before the test. You can purchase one on ebay, amazon, or at Barne’s and Noble’s!

- this worksheet w. confusing pairs http://gbender.cmswiki.wikispaces.net/file/view/List+of+Confusing+Pairs.pdf

- AP Psychology videos on khanacademy.org -- there’s no sub-section for specifically AP Psychology so you gotta search for the particular topic (:

- This list that tells you EXACTLY what terms will be on the test https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/apcourse/ap-psychology/course-details#/

- QUIZLET IS MY LOVE! Seriously, if not quizlet, make notecards!! These are the two I used to review before the exam (1.) https://quizlet.com/8799540/meyers-ap-psychology-final-review-flash-cards/ (2.) https://quizlet.com/6191842/ap-psychology-final-vocab-flash-cards/

- For any “stages” i.e. Piaget’s Stages of Development etc., I would draw out a full-sized chart and study it individually. I’d do the same thing with things w. multiple types i.e. different types of drugs or neurotransmitters-- basically, if the information looked like it could be put into a simple chart, I’d chart it up!

- TAKE NOTES FROM THE TEXTBOOK!!!
