I took AP Psychology with Mr. Davis in 2018-2019 as a junior. Make sure you do the reading guides if you want to know all of the information on the test. Many things on the test are from the reading guide and you don't necessarily talk about them much if at all during class unless you have a question. During the class, he goes over some parts of the reading guide and new information, usually in powerpoints which he later puts on schoology. In this class you do a lot of partner and group activities, both quick things and bigger projects, I would say almost every day. You also do a lot of fun experiments, some involving Skittles and Hershey kisses. Every test/quiz has a multiple choice section and most tests have a written question with multiple parts. For about a week-ish after a test grade is posted, he lets students come in and fix all of the multiple choice questions that they missed for half credit on them. The tests and quizzes themselves are difficult but he gives enough projects and opportunities to gain more points easily that it is generally easy to get a good grade (A or B) without giving full effort, plus the extra AP weight.
