AP Psychology

Example

In Section I of Practice Exam 1 , if you answered 76 questions correctly and

12 questions incorrectly, your Section I score would be 73.

Section I Raw Score = 7 6 – (0. 25 × 12 )= 73

In Section II of Practice Exam 1 , if you earned 7 out of 10 points on Essay 1 , and

6 out of 8 points on Essay 2 , your Section II score would be 3 6. 25.

Section II Raw Score =( 7 × 2. 5 )+(6× 3. 125 )

= 17. 5 + 18. 75 = 3 6. 25

Composite Score 73 + 3 6. 25 = 1 09. 25 , which would be assigned a 5.

What Should I Bring to the Exam?

On exam day, I suggest bringing the following items:

• Several pencils and an eraser that doesn’t leave smudges.


• Black or blue colored pens for the free-response section.


• A watch so that you can monitor your time. You never know if the exam room will have
  a clock on the wall that keeps accurate time.


• Your school code.


• Your photo identification and social security number.


• Tissues.


• Your quiet confidence that you are prepared.
  Avoid bringing electronic data and communications devices, and study materials to the
  testing site.

8 ❯ STEP 1. Set Up Your Study Plan

I’m sorry I didn’t
take the AP
Psychology
Exam. The
college I chose
did not give
credit for the
exam, so I
skipped it. When
I transferred to a
different college
as a sophomore,
I found out that
I could’ve gotten
six credits from
my new school.
What a loss!
