= **1999 RELEASED AP PSYCHOLOGY NATIONAL EXAM** = A number of you were asking about being able to see an actual AP Psych exam. Unfortunately as I said in class, I am not allowed to post the practice exam electronically. Believe it or not, the most recent AP Psychology Exam that the College Board has released is from 1999 (that's actually the year before **//I//** took the AP Psych Exam...). Even though it's a bit older, it may still be useful for you to look at, so I have posted it below. I also posted the revised scoring guide that they released to go with it.

Psychology GRE Practice Test
The GRE is a test required for admission to many graduate schools. Think of it as being like the ACT for college students. These are practice tests intended to help prepare to take the GRE for psychology. Obviously you should expect this practice test to be pretty hard (it's also really long at 270 questions). But if you can do okay on this, you know you must be doing something right. The answer keys are near the end of the documents.
