4 AP Psychology Concept Application Question Tips and Test Taking Strategies:
1. Be mindful of your time spent for the concept application question. The research question typically takes more time so you need to allocate time accordingly. 
2. Always define your term before you provide an example that relates back to the prompt. This helps serve as backup and demonstrates what you know.
3. Remember to apply the term. Defining the term alone is not enough. 
4. Some teachers have told their students to underline the term in their responses; this is up to you, but could be a nice way to cue your reader in when they’re looking for whether or not you understand the definition of the term. 

2 AP Psychology Research Question Tips and Test Taking Strategies:
1. Review your definitions every day in the two weeks leading up to the exam. Make sure you’re confident in identifying the operational definition of different variables, what is a hypothesis, independent variable vs. dependent variable, etc.
2. Include topic sentences when you’re explaining. They help give your responses direction as you translate the question for yourself. 

5 AP Psychology General Free Response Tips and Test Taking Strategies:
1. Write in complete sentences. You should not outline or bullet your AP® Psychology free response answers.
2. Outline your responses before you begin writing by using your question sheet. 
3. Be concise and direct. Don’t skirt around in your responses. 
4. This is not an AP® History class. There is no need for an introduction or conclusion paragraph. 
5. Don’t make diagrams or lists; you only get points for responses that use sentences.
