Study Strategies

## Mastering the AP Psychology Exam The AP Psychology exam often includes multiple-choice and free-response questions. Get familiar with how questions are worded and what they're really asking. Look for key terms and pay attention to the command words like 'describe,' 'explain,' or 'compare.' ### Tips - Read all answer choices before selecting one. - Use process of elimination to narrow down options. - Practice with sample questions to get comfortable with the format.

Examples

  • Highlighting command words like 'define' or 'apply' in a question.
  • Eliminating obviously incorrect answers to improve your odds.
