How to use this? A great way is to give it in your class as a practice exam, and then later let students see which questions they missed by content area. If they get 100% of the bio questions correct but only half of the sensation and perception questions, then they have a way to focus their review.
A final reminder: DO NOT SHARE THESE EXAMS ONLINE. I know that some teacher out there will think about posting this to their school's server and sharing it "just for my students to practice with," but very quickly that could be discovered and distributed widely. The College Board also has a pretty sobering reminder on the download page about what you could lose if you do this. I always just copy them, give them to student in paper-and-pencil mode, and then collect them at the end of the period.
Content area and CB range - comes from the AP Psychology course description
Numbers - represent the question numbers on the test.

How do I access the 2013 released multiple-choice exam?? Please advise! Thank you!!
The test is only available for AP Psych teachers who have been approved through the AP Course Audit process. If that's you, then go to http://www.collegeboard.com/html/apcourseaudit/, log into your account on the right side, and on the next page click on Secure Documents (lower left) and then the word Psychology to see the 2013 released exam.
This is great! Thanks for doing this!
Thanks so much for the breakdown and alerting everyone to the availability of the new exam on the website.
I immediately took the exam and felt there were some great questions. But I wondered if anyone else has a question about the answer given for item #7?
The question Anne is referring to has to do with the actor-observer bias, and I'm wondering both what other teachers think about the question. I'll get some thoughts and report back! If you are following, Anne, can you say what troubled you about the question? (I have my own ideas.)
I don't know who to contact, but the 2013 exam is online. Someone in Mesa Arizona posted it, as it is on their website.
The 2013 exam is now invalid...
Steve and anyone else - please feel free to send me (steven.jones@dpsnc.net) an e-mail with that URL, or any URL for a site that has a copy of the test. I'll pass it on to the folks at College Board. (By the way, the 2013 exam was posted about one month after it was given "only to teachers," so its security has been long gone. Please assume every test is like this! Use the tests in your rooms for practice, but don't let them out, and don't post them online. --Steve
