SCIENCE PRACTICES
What the exam is really testing
Knowing definitions matters, but AP Psychology also expects you to apply concepts and interpret research.
Concept Understanding
Apply psychological perspectives, theories, concepts, and research findings to situations.
Research Methods & Design
Identify variables, sampling, ethical issues, study design, and what conclusions a study can support.
Data Interpretation
Read graphs, tables, and descriptions of quantitative or qualitative findings.
Argumentation
Make and justify psychological claims using evidence and reasoning.
FREE RESPONSE
AAQ and EBQ made simple
The current exam uses two different free-response formats. Practice the task each one is asking you to perform.
FRQ 1
Article Analysis Question (AAQ)
You analyze a provided research article or study description. Focus on the research design, variables, measures, ethics, data, and conclusions.
1Identify what the researchers did.
2Connect the method to the question being asked.
3Use precise research-method vocabulary.
4Only claim what the design actually supports.
FRQ 2
Evidence-Based Question (EBQ)
You develop a psychological argument and support it using provided evidence while applying course concepts.
1State a clear psychological claim.
2Use specific evidence from the materials.
3Explain why the evidence supports your claim.
4Connect your reasoning to psychological concepts.
