Master AP Psychology. Ace the Exam.

All five units of the 2024 course framework, with practice on the question types you'll actually see.

  • Built for the 2024 framework
  • Five units, 29 subtopics
  • Explanations and exercises

Built for the new exam

The College Board rebuilt AP Psychology in 2024. A lot of what you'll find online still teaches the old version.

  • 1

    Five units, not nine

    The course was reorganised into five units. Older prep material is still laid out the old way, so its unit numbers don't match what your teacher is using.

  • 2

    The questions changed

    Multiple choice is stimulus-based now. You read a scenario, a graph or a study description and apply the concept, instead of picking the right definition.

What's in the course

The whole 2024 framework, unit by unit and topic by topic — the same numbering your teacher uses, from 1.3 The Neuron and Neural Firing through 5.5 Treatment of Psychological Disorders.

  • Every topic, in order

    The whole course is broken into topics and lessons, so you always know which part you are on and which part you have not touched.

  • You answer, you don't re-read

    Each lesson comes with questions — ordering, matching, fill the blank, multiple choice — so you find out what you actually know.

  • It comes back before you forget it

    What you get wrong returns in a few days. What you know returns later. You remember the first topics at your exam.

How it works

Learn it, practice it, remember it

The lessons explain the material. The questions check whether you actually understand it. The app brings the topics back before you would forget them, and answers you when you get stuck.

01Lessons

Every topic, explained

The course is split into topics and lessons. Each one explains the concept before it asks you anything, so you are not tested on something you never heard before.

  • Topic by topic

Questions, not more reading

Order the steps of exocytosis. Match each neural structure to what it does. Fill in the blank. You find out what you know by answering, which is also how the exam will ask.

  • Interactive questions
  • You see where you stand

03Repetition

The old topics come back

What you got wrong returns in a few days, what you know returns much later. So Unit 1 is still there in May, and you are not relearning the whole framework the week before.

  • Nothing quietly fades

Ask when you're stuck

Ask about anything in the course and you get an answer from the course material itself, along with the lesson it came from. No weak sources, no hallucinations.

What students say

“Yo I don't know if you still make videos but keep it up! I'm taking AP Psychology right now and you have hands down the clearest and most thorough explanations I have seen yet. It hits that sweet spot between simple to understand and complex enough to contain all necessary detail.”
@occam3064on “How Neurons Fire - Action Potential Explained!”

Planning

Create your study plan

Put in the date of your exam and the course spreads itself across the weeks you have, instead of leaving all of it to the end.

  • Choosing how much of the course to include
    1

    Set the depth

    Pick how much of the course goes into the plan — all of it, or just the parts your class actually covers.

  • Setting the start date and the exam date
    2

    Set the date

    Say when the exam is. The sessions spread across the time you have left, instead of piling up at the end.

  • A day's plan: new material and review
    3

    Your plan is ready

    Each day you get a mix of new material and review, sized to what's left before the date.

How you practice

Ordering, matching, fill the blank, multiple choice, flashcards — the same idea comes back from more than one angle, so you don't just memorise the answers

Ordering the steps of an action potential
Matching terms to what they mean
Filling in the blanks in a definition
A multiple-choice question
A question with more than one right answer
Sorting terms into categories
Flashcards
Completing a table

Questions

Is this built for the current exam or the old one?

The current one. The course follows the 2024 framework's own unit and topic numbering, so 1.3 in the course is 1.3 in your class.

Isn't a lot of this free on YouTube?

Yes. His channel has 162 free lessons and they're good. What the free version doesn't do is put them in the framework's order, ask you questions, or bring Unit 1 back in April when you last looked at it in September.

Does it practise the free-response questions?

No. Everything in the app has a checkable answer — ordering, matching, multiple choice, fill the blank — so it can't mark an AAQ or an EBQ. What it does drill is the research methods, study design and content those two questions are built on, which is where most of the marks are actually lost. For the writing itself, use your teacher and the College Board's scored sample responses.

My class is behind. Can I use this to self-study?

That's a normal reason to use it. The course doesn't assume your teacher has covered anything in particular — you pick the unit you need.

Will it get me a 5?

No one can promise that, and anyone who does is selling you something. In May 2025, 14.4% of the 334,960 students who sat the exam got a 5 and 70.5% got a 3 or better. What this does is make sure you've actually practiced the material rather than just read it.

For parents: what is this, and what does it cost?

It's a study course inside the Voovo app, built with Dr. Steven Kushner, who teaches AP Psychology in a public high school and has taught psychology for over 20 years. It isn't a tutor and it isn't a replacement for the class — it's the practice between lessons. Pricing will be on this page when the course opens; sign up and we'll email you then.
