Start your AP Psychology journey the right way with a free level assessment and one-on-one consultation. Study with expert tutors on a fully personalised plan.
AP Psychology is an advanced course run by the College Board that is equivalent to an introductory university-level psychology course. It covers a broad range, from the biological bases of behavior to perception, learning, cognition, development and social psychology, with scientific research methods an important part of the course. It is strong preparation for high-school students interested in psychology, the social sciences or health fields.
The exam has two sections: multiple-choice questions and free-response questions (FRQs). The FRQ part asks you to apply concepts to real scenarios and interpret research findings. A high AP Psychology score strengthens an application file and can earn introductory course credit at many universities.
Every lesson is taught by expert tutors who know the AP Psychology format inside out and focus on exam strategy.
After your level assessment, we build a personal roadmap around your strengths and weak spots.

The AP Psychology exam has two sections — multiple-choice and free-response — and takes about 2 hours in total:
75 questions · 90 minutes · two-thirds of the score
2 questions · 70 minutes · one-third of the score
Applying psychology concepts to a scenario
Interpreting a study and evaluating research methods
AP exams are scored on a 1–5 scale, with the multiple-choice and free-response sections combined into the final score. A 3 is generally considered passing, but selective universities ask for a 4 or 5 for credit or placement. A high AP Psychology score requires applying concepts to scenarios correctly, beyond memorising terms, and partial credit is possible on the free-response section.
AP Psychology suits high-school students interested in human behavior and the social sciences and does not require advanced math. AP exams are held each year in May. Although there are many terms, steady work across a semester is enough for most students; linking concepts to examples is central to preparation.
