Three Approaches to Preparing for AP Exams

What kind of preparation program for the AP exam should you follow? Should you

carefully follow every step, or are there perhaps some steps you can bypass? That depends

not only on how much time you have, but also on what kind of student you are. No one

knows your study habits, likes, and dislikes better than you. You are the best one to decide

the approach for you to adopt to prepare successfully for the Advanced Placement

Psychology Exam. This chapter presents three possible study plans, labeled A, B, and C.

Look at the brief profiles below. These may help you determine which of these three plans

is right for you.

You’re a Full-School-Year Prep Student If:
