Lecture01
- 1. AP Psychology Quick Review Class A superbly-snappy way to prepare for the AP Psychology Test
- 2. Introduction Hello! I’m Nate, and I’ll be your instructor for this course. Here’s a little bit of information about me: I’m an undergraduate pursuing a dual major in psychology and anthropology I’ve taken, in total, 14 AP tests, including the Psychology test – trust me, I know what I’m talking about I’m really excited about this, so let’s go!
- 3. About this course: This course is meant to be a quick review; please, read a textbook in conjunction with this if you haven’t taken an AP Psychology class This course will provide the information tested most often, not every single psychological fact that might possible appear on the test This course will mostly be on slides until I have time to record lectures
- 4. How does it work? Each section corresponds to a subject on the AP Psychology topic distribution outline Within each section, there are lectures, quizzes, tests, and AP Practice Sessions, vocab lists, and test tip breaks
- 5. Lectures Lectures are presentations that consist of at least 5 slides Lectures contain the most thorough review of information you will see on the test Lectures are designed to be bite-sized; you can do as many as you want, but I suggest doing no more than one section’s worth in a sitting. Breaking them up will help you learn faster.
- 6. Quizzes Quizzes are quick reviews of the information you just learned There is one quiz for each lecture Quizzes are meant to help you check your progress Review quizzes often to make sure the memory stays fresh in your mind THESE DO NOT CONTAIN REAL AP QUESTIONS
- 7. Tests Tests are comprehensive reviews of all the material in a section Tests are supposed to help you measure if you are ready to move on Tests can have multiple choice, short response, and long response questions Short response and long response are self- graded THESE CONTAIN REAL AP QUESTIONS (denoted by bold)
- 8. AP Practice Sessions AP Practice Sessions pick apart real AP questions piece by piece These are found after the test and explain all the real AP questions found in the test These are not optional; please review them to understand how real AP questions work
- 9. Vocab Lists Vocab lists are simply compiled and alphabetized lists of vocab words found in the chapter If it is requested, I can also add presentations with the words and definitions arranged like flashcards
- 10. Test Tip Breaks Test Tip Breaks are interspersed throughout the sections These are not relevant to the specific sections; they are simply test-taking strategies that will help you perform well on the AP Psychology test
- 11. Studying Please review as often as possible! Make sure that what you’ve learned is always floating at the back of your mind; keeping the information with you is key Don’t listen to music, watch TV, etc. while studying Test yourself frequently!
- 12. Feedback That’s all there is to know about this course! Get to work! I appreciate feedback – that’s what makes this course better for you and everyone else. Good luck!
