Worth Every Penny May 26, 2008
I bought this book early in the year to prepare for my AP Psychology course. It was a TREMENDOUSLY HELPFUL supplement with my Psychology textbook (Myers).
One of the reasons why I enjoyed this book was it has a "student planner" to carefully allocate your time in order to maximize your score on the AP test. If I had to estimate the time per week I used to read this book to fill in the holes I missed in the textbook, it would be at least 1 1/2 hours a week.
I followed exactly what the book recommended me to study, and when I finally took the AP Exam: I couldn't believe how easy it was.
Buy the book. It's your ticket to a 5.
Highly recommended February 10, 2008
With the easy-to-read text and study plans for the A student and the procrastinator, it is the best AP study guide I've seen for Psych. It is also more detailed than the Barron's and goes into depth about everything covered.
The AP Psychology BEST book out there January 7, 2008
I used only this book to help prepare for the AP test, and I didn't take the class. If you are good at studying and memorizing, and at least somewhat interested in the subject, you can definetly pass the test with this book. I liked that there was a quiz after each chapter, it helped me focus on what I needed to review again from the precious chapter. Also, the text is not small so it's easy to read, and it's written in way that doesn't put you to sleep.
AP Psychology ONLINE September 17, 2007
I was taking the AP Psychology on-line course. Half of the stuff in the on-line class was not on the test. And the class is only one semester so I was only half-way through the course when I decided to screw it and just read this book. I highly recommend it. It was the only thing I used. And I only studied this for about a week. I got a 4, but I only read about 2/3 of it. If you were to read the whole thing, I would say you would probably get a 5. I only spent a week, only read 2/3, but I spent many hours on it and focused. I tried the Barron's one too, but it didn't work for me. It had a lot of good information, but it was dull. This book had everything I needed, I only wish I would have read the whole thing.

Because my school is in the Boondocks, I did an independent study of AP Psychology. This book was what I used as my textbook. Most AP books have a content review section that resembles a bullet list. This book, however, provides very well written and complete chapters covering every aspect of the test. I took the two practice tests in the book before I took the exam and got a 5 on both. The practice tests were practically identical to the real thing. I highly recommend this for both the type of person that studies well in advance or the type that reads the entire review book in the weekend before the test and prays that he still got a 5 (I'm neither confirming or denying that I did this).
