AP Review Resources--2013 Version

The AP Psychology exam is now less than a month away and by now most of us have gotten to the point of finishing our curriculum and are prepping our students for the upcoming exam.  Below are some resources to help students review on their own.  While updating this list today, I've discovered that some old resources that were excellent are no longer available.  Thanks to Steve Jones for some of these links in previous years.

    Charleen Gribben noted on Twitter that this link is also a good one for AP Review-video content: http://education-portal.com/academy/course/psychology-101.html

    Oh dear lord, Dartmouth was right after all. Mile wide, inch deep, nothing like real college curriculum.

    Wow, Suzanna, your comment surprises me. I would think that most people would be able to distinguish between the AP Psychology course and the materials used to help students review for the course. Perhaps this isn't as, um, intensive as the five 50-question multiple choice tests that Dartmouth gives students in its intro psych class, but since they won't release their questions, we'll never know.

    Suzanna, I do not know you or your background. Please check out this link for details on what the CB expects teachers to impart to their high school students. Perhaps it will offer some clarity to the issue. http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/repository/ap-psychology-course-description.pdf
