Dear Future AP Psychology Students,

 Most of you probably have heard that psychology has to do with the brain and the mind and you are pretty right. We learn about the parts of the brain all the way to mental disorders like common ones like Bi-Polar Depression. The course consists of some notes, lots of content digs (group worksheets), and tests. The most tedious thing to do for AP Psych is the vocabulary we do for tests. We are supposed to do it everyday to keep up so that it doesn't pile up but a lot of the time you will forget about it because of other classes. One of the things I loved most about the class was the group I had that I had for most of the content digs. We would work on content digs while cracking jokes and often work fast and have some leftover time at the end to talk.

My advice for future students would probably be to keep up with the vocabulary. I have done both spaced interval study and procrastinated and the ladder is not as nice. The work starts to pile up and doing vocab for four hours is not fun. In addition, it is probably pretty wise to study for every test because the tests are pretty hard.

My favorite activity was probably the emotions project. I was able to listen to some good music while learning more about emotions.

I don't think it would hurt to lessen on the content digs. A lot of the time we would do the content digs together and not really remember anything the next day or the next couple of days.

I think that the biggest suggestion would be to do more quizlet live activities. Instead of doing content digs a lot of the time i feel like it would be more beneficial to do the quizlet lives. Even if you don't know anything, you still learn because other people are competitive and you start to memorize words and it is kinda fun.

This is a link to my favorite topic that we learned about this year in AP Psych:

This week our assignment was to write about anything relating to psychology so I have decided to write about emotions, specifically, the relationship between the emotions.  When you are raising a child, most of the time, they tend to not be able to recognize commands or any language for that matter when they are in their youngest stages. You may tell a child to stop crying or to be quiet but they won't listen mainly because they really don't understand what you're saying, but they seem to understand when you're mad at them or happy with with them. When you think about it, it makes sense. When you see a younger baby, what do you usually do? Smile and wave at them or greet them and ask how their day was? You smile and wave because when you do, the baby smiles and gets all happy. The baby doesn't understand language but the emotions you show it. Additionally, when people start to spend more time with others who are constantly in one emotion, like sadness, they ...

Personality Lab Test: In this test, you were give 100 questions and they were asking how you would feel in reaponse to certain scenarios. I ended up scoring a 50 on narcissism showing that I have high confidence and can sometimes feel insecure. I got a 72 on Machiavellianism and a 39 in Psychopathy. These show that I am usually pretty concerned about my social image and the actions I take. I would say that this test is relatively accurate and that I am a lot of what it says. Jung Typology Test: This test basically determined my introversion and extroversion through a series of questions. It determined that I was the thinking type and that I am very intuitive. I would agree with this because I usually think out what I do before I do it. Test your Morality Test: this test was designed to judge your moral compass. It gave you a series of questions with scenarios and asked you what you think was right or wrong. I believe this was not too accurate because slot of the things it said were...
