Honestly I give it a 4⭐️ rating solely based on the fact I got a 5 on the exam…. I guess it WAS good for something

10/10 AP Psych textbook, love John Myers- although he yaps too much but has so many fun examples that make the info stick longer

[Jenna Mullen · Rating 3 out of 5]

there were some good jokes
the parts on drugs felt very preachy (like "students you should absolutely never blah blah blah" for like 5 pages) and not about how drugs really worked but whatever

the chapter on how sleep deprivation ruins your brain hit hard as i was outlining it at 1 am and i thought, "wow i am shortening my life for class"

overall good interesting material but was overly wordy on some parts

Covers the new 2025 CED with the new vocab terms, unfortunately there is too much "fluff" in this book which seems to "pack" and enlarge each chapter, with constant "rambling" and dwelling upon several singular concept that could be explained with a sentence or two. Felt good on the AP Exam, however would prefer a more straightforward textbook with more brief, specific examples.

3.5/5 ⭐. If I get less than than 5 on the ap exam, I am coming back and changing it to 2⭐... But for now, it was an okay textbook. Much longer than necessary as a whole, but too short in certain chapters, where I wish it had delved deeper into certain topics. One positive about it tho, is that it is very comprehensible. So, if you struggle with textbook language, you may find this worth reading, since it uses very easy language and explanations.

[Kris]

I deserve to mark this as done after what it did to me

[Lucas Hooper · Rating 4 out of 5]

Honestly it was really well written. My only critic is that it was really wordy, which makes it a bit of a drag.

The comics definitely added to my enjoyment, and helped give me a break from reading when I was overwhelmed with information.
