Notecards/Flashcards: Students are strongly encouraged to create flashcards for the terms in each chapter. Students will need to bring cards to class for activities and will receive points for their cards. Cards for each unit/chapter of study can be kept on a ring and then moved to a box when the given unit is completed. As there are over 400 required vocabulary terms to know for this class, the flashcards will be a valuable study tool throughout the year.
Study Guide: Students are encouraged to purchase their own study guide for taking the A.P. Psychology Exam. (Examples: The Princeton Review: Cracking the AP Psychology Exam, or Five Steps to A 5, etc.)
