iScore5 AP Psych is an app dedicatedto helping students score high marks onthe AP examination. The app makes exam review entertaining and engaging for students. The creators have designed an app that functions asa game and helps students to master over 800 vocabulary words for AP Psychology. The app, however,goes beyond merely learning basic vocabulary by challenging students to master multiple-choice questions in levels of increasing difficulty. The questions have all been writtenby experienced AP Psychology teachers or College professors of psychology, all of whom are also AP exam readers.
The interactive interface of the app is easy to navigate,and students may choose to return to study mode to practice basic vocabulary at any point during the game. The app records a running score allowing students to monitor their progress and better understand the concepts they will need to know for the exam. Within each level including the study mode, the questions and practice items are organized according to the fourteen units outlined by the official College Board AP Psychology course outline.
The app is also an effective way for students to prepare for classroom unit exams, midterms, and finals. Because it is portable and easily accessed by phone or tablet, students are more likely to review more often than with traditional review books. Even if students only have five or ten minutes to review at a time, this will result in an impressive increase in knowledge of psychology content due to the spacing effect.
