Vocabulary-dense, but the FRQs reward applied reasoning across units.
AP Psychology covers nine units of dense vocabulary, but the FRQ section consistently asks students to apply terms across units — pairing a developmental concept with a learning concept and a social concept in a single applied scenario. We've built our flashcard decks around this cross-unit application pattern rather than within-unit definition drills.
The 2024 redesign tightened the experimental design and statistics expectations. Our Unit 0 ('Scientific Foundations of Psychology') matches the new framework and includes the operational-definition and confounding-variable practice that increasingly appears in MCQs.
