High school students: survey on short-form content (TikTok/Reels/Shorts) and attention span + academic performance (Students) (Teenagers)

Hey! I’m doing a short anonymous school research survey on how short-form content (TikTok/Reels/Shorts) affects attention span and study habits in students.

It takes less than 5 mins so I would really appreciate your response so much 🙏

I need help.

I know im so stupid for this but i’m taking my high school ap psych test on friday (technically retaking since i missed the first one CAUSE I DIDNT KNOW WHEN IT WAS) and i havent studied one lick. I’m just slightly interested in psychology because of what i hear online thats like maybe only slightly accurate. i hope. but thats all i’ve got going for me rn

TO BE FAIR my teacher has been out for the past 3 weeks, it’s not even the first time it’s happened this year but he’s on the older side so i cant really blame him, and we have had literally nothing every single day except for the weekly assignment (a google doc with three questions) so all of us in those classes did noootttthhiiiinnggg😭😭😭 I literally have two psych classes which were the exact same thing so i did even less than the others 😭 but seriously this man needs to retire this is ridiculus 🥀

how do i cram if i physically cant read that stupid study book i’ve been trying for an hour and i can not do it.

AP Psych (Late Testing)

Hey folks, I’m taking the AP Psych exam in the late testing schedule which is on the 22nd.

I’ve been reading many posts from regular test takers about a certain “ghosting” FRQ. I have self studied this AP from the Barrons book. There was not a mention of “ghosting” in that. It was my Bible throughout and although I have access to the Princeton Review book, I haven’t touched it at all.

Could y’all please tell me -

  1. Whether I should study from PR?
  2. Whether I should learn the names of every single psychologist by heart?
  3. Whether I should memorise the entire Erickson’s stages of development thing and other things like that?

help me 😭

Hey guys, I’m taking the late exam next week. I’m self studying and I only started seriously studying like… uhh… this month.

I binged Mr Sinn and I’ve been reading over the Princeton Review prep book. is anything else I can do? can someone tell me what kind of questions were on the mcq so I know what to prioritize (I know the late exam is different but still, I’m sure the overall topics would be similar, right?? 😭😭). or just any tips in general would be appreciated. I’m scrambling here 💔

What would I likely score if this was basically my aaq?

A. Case Study

B. The operational definition of anxiety is the negative feelings invoked, specifically those involved in a fear of missing out, when participants were unable to answer the phone. These feelings were evaluated on how "tense" or "worried" they made the participants feel, with higher scores indicating more anxiety.

C. The statistically significant difference in the means anxiety scores indicates that the Phone Absent group had much greater levels of anxiety because of the absence of their phone compared to the lower anxiety levels of the Phone present group who had their phones beside them.

D. One ethical guideline is that not only did they obtain a review from an outside committee to ensure no harm to participants or participants rights, but they gave the participants the right to withdraw. The right to withdraw is the ability to leave the experiment at any time for any reason without consequence.

E. The study may not be generalizable because it had an unequal amount of females compared to males as well as an unequal amount of participants who were white in ethnicity compared to other races.

F. The research findings support the idea that FOMO causes anxiety because it was found that the Phone Absent group had much higher anxiety levels as they couldn't see whether they were missing am important call, chance for social connection, or an important opportunity.

I know I got part A wrong but I got pressed for time and just went with Case Study. And I'm unsure about my operational definition since I didn't specifically list the 4-point Likert Scale. Furthermore my teacher never told us that the Right To Withdraw is now considered Informed Consent as I've seen on a lot of other posts. And I'm unsure if I'll lose points on the statistical significance part because I didn't mention that it wasn't because of chance.

Idk, just looking for input :)

Someone cheated at my schools AP psych exam, will everyone's score be cancelled?

So recently, someone was caught cheating. The proctors didn't notice, this person was seated behind me so even I didn't notice. They apparently had snuck notes underneath their scratch paper and were on their phone during break, and someone reported it after the test and their score was invalidated. Rumors have been spreading fast and everyone knows they who they are and that they cheat on literally everything and anything. But rumors are also being spread that our scores are being invalidated even though we had nothing to do with it. I haven't gotten any emails from college board yet, but I'm just scared because I worked so hard and I am confident in my scores. Will it be invalidated?

The cheating is out of control.

I’ve seen a lot of posts similar to this one recently on r/APStudents, but I need somewhere to get this out.

I took the AP Psychology exam yesterday. Everything was going well and I was honestly relieved that it was so easy. I need extended time for testing, so I took the exam in my school’s conference room, away from my other classmates (meaning I did not see this first hand, I just heard it from the source). I finished the MCQ early and took an unscheduled break to use the bathroom. On the way back from the bathroom I hear one of my classmates who is also taking the exam talking in the hallway with one of her friends (not taking the AP) about how she is using her phone during the exam. Initially, I thought nothing of it and maybe I misheard her. This student always cheats on every test, quiz, and assignment in every class, using ChatGPT to type in or take pictures of work and get answers, so either way I wasn’t surprised. Funnily enough, she is also in AP Seminar with me, and admitted to one of my friends that she used ChatGPT for both of her PTs. After the APP exam I was talking to one of my friends (let’s call her Anna) about how the exam went and I brought up the situation about this girl cheating. Anna confirmed that she saw this girl cheating and they both made eye contact, so the girl knew Anna saw her. After the exam was over, apparently this girl was staying back to make sure Anna did not tell the proctor about her cheating. After I found this out, I immediately wanted to go to the dean and AP coordinator with Anna to tell them about it, but my friend did not want to because she thought she would face consequences. I (and her mom who she later spoke with about this) told her that worst case scenario Anna would have to retake the test, and she would not face further consequences. Her mom eventually told her not to get involved and to just let it go. I personally am sick of the cheating that happens in the school, and how people who are academically dishonest are portrayed as “better students” for having better grades, even though they don’t put in the work needed for their grades. I decided that I would go by myself, even though Anna saw the whole thing and would be able to give more information because she was a witness. I went to the dean first, who said there wouldn’t be any consequences (such as score cancellation) because I told him after the exam was over (which is not how it works, but okay). I also talked to the AP coordinator at my school, and they said that the only way that the girl’s scores would get canceled as if Anna talked to the coordinator and confirmed that the girl was cheating. I haven’t told my friend this new information, but I feel like she would be upset with me for nagging her about getting involved. Both Anna and I have complained all year to each other about the excessive cheating in our school, especially with students in AP classes who should know better. I’m hoping my friend will come around so this girl will get her scores canceled and never be able to take an AP again (she will probably also be kicked out of National Honor Society). I know this seems harsh, but I’m honestly so frustrated and this is the last straw for me.

One last thing- I also filed an incident report through College Board, hoping that might do something if my AP coordinator can’t help. I know this is a long shot, but I’m wondering if there’s anything else I can do. I would appreciate any suggestions and support. I want other students who are in my situation to know that you’re not alone and I understand your frustrations.

-the mean is lower than the median
-the mean is higher than the mode

did the east coast ap psych exam get leaked?

so i was scrolling on tiktok as one does after AP exams, and i noticed a comment that had an exact photo of one of the questions from the 2026 psychology exam. i was very confused as to how they got this image obviously, theres like this watermark all over it. everyone in the replies is acting really casual about it so idek if its a leak

i think that cheating on aps is inherently stupid and is just doing everyone a disservice, get the question wrong, help the curve, and move on
