Previously used FRQs from AP Psychology Exams, including general information on the exam itself:
AP Psychology Review Site. Not comprehensive by any means, but this site, along with many others, does a nice job breaking down the structure of the exam, while providing several solid links for additional help and support. Feel free to explore on your own for other review resources.

Psychology Today. Online (and paper) publication that covers all things psychology. Great resource for staying up-to-date on the ever changing field of psychology. (Also a great site for extra credit in Intro to Psychology and Intro to Sociology. But you didn't hear that from me...)
