AP Psychology

AP Psychology Study Guide Maker

AP Psychology tests whether you can apply concepts and analyze research, not just define terms. According to the College Board, the exam is fully digital in Bluebook, with 75 multiple-choice questions in 90 minutes (66.7% of the score) and 2 free-response questions in 70 minutes (33.3%). The first free-response question is an Article Analysis Question (AAQ) based on one summarized peer-reviewed study, covering research method, variables, statistics, ethics, generalizability and argumentation. The second is an Evidence-Based Question (EBQ) based on three summarized studies, where you make a claim, support it with evidence from the sources and justify it. The 2027 exam is on May 14, 2027.

The course has 5 units, each weighted 15–25%: Biological Bases of Behavior; Cognition; Development and Learning; Social Psychology and Personality; and Mental and Physical Health.

Study Guide Maker turns your class slides, text-based PDFs, Word docs or notes into a guide for each unit — outline, key concepts tagged to the page they came from, glossary, practice questions and flashcards. Choose the AP/IB level, and make a separate guide from your research-methods notes, since the AAQ depends on them.

Biology

Cellular Respiration

Cellular respiration is how cells turn the chemical energy in glucose into ATP. It happens in three stages — glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain — and releases carbon dioxide and water as by-products.

  1. 1. Overview of cellular respiration

    • Overall equation: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy (ATP + heat).p. 1
    • Aerobic respiration needs oxygen and yields far more ATP than fermentation.p. 1
  2. 2. Glycolysis

    • Glucose is split into two pyruvate molecules in the cytoplasm, producing a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH.p. 2
    • Glycolysis does not require oxygen.p. 2
  3. 3. Krebs (citric acid) cycle

    • Takes place in the mitochondrial matrix; each acetyl-CoA produces 3 NADH, 1 FADH2, 1 ATP and 2 CO2.p. 3
  4. 4. Electron transport chain

    • Located in the inner mitochondrial membrane; NADH and FADH2 donate electrons that pump H+ ions and drive ATP synthase.p. 4
    • Oxygen is the final electron acceptor and forms water.p. 4
