AP Psychology is a high school class that teaches you about how people think, feel, and behave.
You learn topics like:
- Brain and nervous system
- how your brain controls your body and thoughts
- Memory and learning – how you remember things and learn new skills
- Development – how people change from babies to adults
- Mental disorders – conditions like anxiety or depression and how they are treated
- Social behavior – why people act differently around other
At the end, students can take the AP exam. If you do well, some colleges may give you credit for an intro psychology course.
