About this resource

This is an AP psychology quiz that offers an engaging review of foundational brain and behavior themes, tailored to 9th - 12th grade students and created by educator Summer Williams. It includes 55 multiple-choice questions that will help students gain clarity through content about neurotransmitters (acetylcholine, serotonin, GABA, dopamine), neuroplasticity, the nervous system structures, and essential areas of the brain like the frontal lobe, Broca’s area, and the hippocampus. It’s a valuable tool that teachers can use for assessing student knowledge of these topics before a test or as an AP Psych unit review. The quiz also includes real-world situations and famous case studies like Phineas Gage, and encourages students to apply their psychological principles while enriching their vocabulary with terms relevant to concepts such as synaptic gap, circadian rhythm, and reuptake. You’ll support your students in mastering complex psychological topics and target instruction more effectively and tailored to your students’ needs.
