Editorial Policy

AppsychLab helps students prepare for a real exam, so accuracy is not optional. This page explains exactly how our content is researched, checked, and corrected — and where our information comes from.

Who Writes This

AppsychLab is a student-built project, created and maintained by a high-school founder heading into behavioral and business psychology, with help from family. We do not claim to be a large editorial team or licensed professionals. What we offer instead is rigor and transparency: every exam-related claim is checked against authoritative sources before it goes live, and we tell you what those sources are.

How We Ensure Accuracy

• Exam facts are verified against the College Board. Details about the AP Psychology exam — its format, timing, question types (AAQ and EBQ), point values, and score data — are checked against the College Board's official AP Central and AP Students materials.
• Psychological concepts follow standard, widely accepted sources. Definitions, theories, studies, and findings reflect mainstream psychology as taught in the AP curriculum and standard textbooks, not fringe claims.
• Score estimates are clearly labeled as estimates. Our score calculator uses the official section weighting and historical curves, and we state plainly that the College Board re-sets the exact curve each year.
• Interactive experiments use established designs. The Stroop, memory-span, conditioning, and cognitive-bias demos follow the classic published methods, and we note that on-screen millisecond results are educational, not lab-grade.

Use of AI Tools

We may use AI tools to help draft and edit content. Nothing is published on AI output alone — every exam fact and psychological claim is reviewed by a human against the authoritative sources above. AI is a writing aid here, not the source of truth.

Corrections

If you spot an error, please tell us at hello@appsychlab.com. We take accuracy seriously and will review and fix confirmed mistakes promptly. Because the AP Psychology course was redesigned for 2025, we also revisit pages as the College Board releases new guidance.

Independence and Funding

AppsychLab is not affiliated with the College Board, and "AP" is a trademark of the College Board. We are independent and do not accept payment to alter or place content. The site is free, with no ads aimed at students; any money it ever raises through optional, adult-directed donations is given to a health and mental-health charity.

What We Don't Do

We do not publish clinical or diagnostic tools, and we do not present any quiz as a measure of mental health, intelligence, or a medical condition. See our disclaimer for the full scope, and our about page for the project's mission.
