Practice FRQ Questions
Practice both AP Psychology free-response types: the Article Analysis Question (AAQ) and the Evidence-Based Question (EBQ). Each prompt includes a timer, a response box, and a scoring guide to self-check your answer.
What the exam actually asks for
- ✓ Article Analysis Question (AAQ) — 25 minutes
- ✓ Evidence-Based Question (EBQ) — 45 minutes
- ✓ Identifying research methods and operational definitions
- ✓ Reasoning from data and citing evidence
- ✓ Ethical guidelines and generalizability
- ✓ Self-scoring against a written guide
How AP Psychology FRQs are scored
Both FRQ types reward specific, evidence-based answers grounded in the scenario or source material — not general psychology knowledge alone.
Identify
Name the exact method, structure, or concept the question asks for — be precise, not general.
Use the Evidence
Cite specific numbers, findings, or details from the source. Vague answers without evidence rarely earn full credit.
Explain the Connection
Say why the evidence supports your point or how it connects to the psychological concept — don't just restate the data.
AAQ Practice (5 prompts)
Each AAQ presents a brief research study. Identify the method, interpret the results, and connect the findings to psychological concepts.
EBQ Practice (5 prompts)
Each EBQ gives you a research question and summarized sources. Make a claim, cite evidence, and explain your reasoning.
