Understanding AP Exam Questions

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.
