This Is What a Page Actually Looks Like

Real pages from the three books. Tap any page to see it full size.

How the book works

One Page, One Idea

Every page is built the same way, so you always know where to look.

1

Look at the drawing

The picture carries the idea: the neuron firing, the stages, the experiment.

Every page
2

Read the boxes

Each box gives one fact, one term or one study, in plain words.

Every page
3

Check the dark strip

The point students most often miss on the exam, at the bottom of the page.

Every page
How each page worksThe label at the top left gives the AP topic. The drawing carries the idea, the boxes give the facts, and the dark strip at the bottom holds the point most often missed on the exam.
The difference

A Textbook Chapter vs. A Page You Understand

Thirty pages of text and bold terms

  • Terms in bold with no picture of what they mean
  • Studies, names and dates you have to memorize in a list
  • Similar ideas that blur together on the test
  • No clear idea of what the exam actually asks

Psychology Made Visual

  • Every idea drawn: the neuron, the brain, the stages, the experiment
  • Each study in a box: what they did and what they found
  • A last-minute page on the pairs students mix up
  • Built on the five AP units, with research methods in every one

Questions

Before You Decide

Is this official AP material?

No. It is an independent illustrated study guide. It follows the five units of the AP Psychology course framework, but AP is a registered trademark of the College Board, which is not affiliated with and does not endorse this product. The 150 practice questions were written for this book; they are not official exam questions.

Does it replace my textbook or my class?

No. It is the illustrated material that goes with your course: one idea per page, to understand it and review it. Your teacher and your syllabus come first.

Is it only for AP students?

No. The topics are the core of a college Intro to Psychology course too. A few college topics outside the AP framework are not covered in depth.

How do I get it?

By email, straight after you buy. Three PDFs you can read on your phone, tablet or computer.

Can I print it?

Yes, as many times as you want, for yourself. The practice test has an answer sheet to print and fill in.

How many pages is it?

The book has 80 pages, the Practice Test 24 and the Cheat Sheet 21.

Is it a subscription?

No. One payment of $27, and the three PDFs are yours.

One Last Thing

Psychology is easier to remember when you have seen it. The book draws each idea, so you can picture it on the exam instead of trying to recall a paragraph.

See it.
Understand it.
Remember it.
