What is the AP Psychology FRQ?

Short answer

The AP Psychology free-response section asks you to apply psychological concepts, read research scenarios, or use evidence from a source. Clear application matters more than long definitions.

What to do next

For each term, write the definition and the exact behavior or detail in the scenario that shows it.

The common mistake

Defining a term correctly but never applying it to the scenario.
