How do you start?

Request a free intro call: it is a conversation about your goals and timeline, not a lesson or a test. There is no separate diagnostic test for AP, because no single test stands in for a school syllabus. The first lesson does the assessment: your tutor works through your recent marked work and past-paper questions from your own specification, and reads where you stand. It is a normal paid lesson, not a free trial, and it teaches as it assesses.

AP Psychology — Frequently Asked Questions

What college credit does AP Psychology carry?

One semester of introductory psychology. Credit policies are set by each university rather than by the College Board, so confirm the score your target schools require before choosing which exams to sit.

What does AP Psychology cover?

The course is organized into 5 units: Biological Bases of Behavior, Cognition, Development and Learning, Social Psychology and Personality and Mental and Physical Health. Our tutoring follows the same order, so what you cover with a tutor lines up with what your class is doing.

What college course is AP Psychology equivalent to?

Introduction to Psychology. That is the level the exam is written to, which is why a strong AP score is treated as evidence you can handle first-year university work in the subject.

Which majors is AP Psychology useful for?

It is most relevant to Psychology, Neuroscience, Sociology, Social Work and 6 more. It is worth taking if it is either required for your intended major or the strongest subject you can show, since a high score in a demanding subject carries more weight than a safe pass in an easy one.
