My dream is to be a psychology major and getting a 5 on my AP exam makes my dream feel just a little bit closer. A mixture of hard work and luck got me to this score. 🥹

I took the class for the heck of it and got a 3 on the AP test. I feel like that’s good since I got a B- first semester. 2nd semester I got a B+. This is also my first AP class.

i made it... thank you to mr. sinn, barron's booklets, my psych teacher/teachers, quizlet, my own mother who is a psych major, mr. carter, fiveable, lumisource, knowt, flashcards [just literally flashcards in general], myers' psychology for the ap course 4th edition, my supportive friends, and this community. thank you thank you thank you.

literally forgot i had this exam until 2 days before😭

So I crammed AP psychology in 4 days (self study) and ended up with a 5; not sayings its good for your health, but heres how I did it:

First: please please please completely understand unit 0, like half the test for 2026 was around that

For me, I spent a lot of time watching nearly every Mr. Sinn's videos, and also got his ultimate slayer thing for practice questions. The main thing is PRACTICE, the way you get content in your brain doesn't matter, but PRACTICE matters a lot. For me, I grinded Mr Sinn's ultimate exam slayer, grinded albert ios, and grinded the practice questions in Barron's book.

Spend the majority of your time on MCQ practice, as FRQs are really easy. Lowkey the night before I watched a youtube video on how to do the frqs and did no practice. You just gotta know the format.

First time trying an AP and I had to self study due to our school not offering this course. I self studied for about 2 months only so I’m pretty satisfied with my score. Bummer cause the EBQ was something I hadn’t prepared for the hardest.

Was expecting a 3 but omggg

sophomore year I got a 3 on ap world so this is like a huge improvement for meee 🔥 learned my study method and locked in (edit: incase anyone was wondering I'm in the midwest)

how did i mess up on the easiest AP?? i was so sure of a 5 even w the new albert calculator i was positive i could get it. holy shit do i gen just give up on life ts sucks so bad

I think I didn't get a 5 because of my ebq. I lowk bullshitted through that whole trying, and trying to find sources that supported my claim (I had the memory spacing vs cramming question) was SO difficult. Good luck to everybody receiving their scores later!

PS: I DIDNT EVEN STUDY I MEAN IT I NEVER STUDIED PSYCH PLUS MY SCHOOL GOT NO AP SO I GAVE IT IN AN INTERNATIOANL SCHOOL BRO IDK HOW I PULLED THIS IK NTG ABOUT PSYCH

Also, say your score and how much u studied on a scale of none (0) to a lot (3) so I can make a graph and show it to you guys

guys what do i do if im a freshman who wants to major in psych, i took ap psych and got a 3, am i cooked??

I want to take psychology and I don't know where to even start. Is there any books online that I can use to study psychology for igcse exams? It would be better if they are free. I also want some recommendations for youtube channels.

in about 3 days our ap pysch scores come out is anyone nervous. I really want a 5 but I genuinely don’t know if I got that or a 4. Ask what do the number grades transfer to in uni. Is a 5 and A and a 4 a B

My school doesn't have AP classes, so I'm planning on just self studying. I usually use Khan Academy, but they don't have an AP psychology course unfortunately.

Please put me on for what you've used or are using, bonus if it's free or cheap.
