AP Psychology is an introductory college-level course covering the science of behavior and mental processes, organized around five equally weighted thematic units. The course was substantially redesigned in recent years, and the free-response section now looks very different from older prep material — rather than general essay questions, students have to analyze a real peer-reviewed research source and build an evidence-based argument from multiple sources, a research and writing skill that goes well beyond memorizing theories and terminology. Our tutors at Growing Stars build both the content knowledge and the evidence-based reasoning skills clearly, step by step, using the student's own course material.
