The College Board organises this course into five units, from Biological Bases of Behavior through Cognition, Development and Learning, Social Psychology and Personality, and Mental and Physical Health, and every one of them rests on terminology that looks obvious in the textbook and evaporates under a clock.
WeSolve+ reads the whole document and writes the questions for you
Upload your PDF, photograph your notebook, or point the camera. WeSolve+ writes questions from that material, explains why each answer is right, reads the chapter back to you as a podcast, and remembers every item you missed until you own it.
The tool below is a small browser-only tool and it is not WeSolve+: paste a few lines and text rules turn them into cards on the spot. The real app, the one that uses AI, is behind the link above.
Turn your psychology notes into cards
This is a browser-only tool, and that is all it isIt splits the text you paste by rule, and nothing else. WeSolve+ is a different thing entirely: it reads your whole PDF with AI, writes the reasoning behind every question, speaks the chapter back to you, and remembers what you missed so it can return it. Try the real app now, free!
Text rules, not AI. Lines with a colon become two sided cards; other lines lose their longest word. Nothing you paste leaves the browser. Copy gives tab separated rows for Anki.
Researcher names are the part that slips first
Milgram, Zimbardo, Ainsworth, Piaget, Loftus: the studies are memorable as stories and forgettable as attributions. Students who can describe the strange situation in detail routinely cannot say whose it was, and the exam asks for the name. Stories are encoded richly; labels are encoded thinly and need repeated retrieval to stick. A list of study names in your own notes, pasted into the box at the top, becomes exactly that: something you are asked rather than something you skim past.
Terms that sound alike and mean different things
This course is unusually full of near neighbours. Negative reinforcement is not punishment. Assimilation is not accommodation. A confounding variable is not a control. Recognition study lets those pairs blur together, because seeing the right word beside three wrong ones never forces you to separate them. The fill in the blank output does force it, since the term is removed and only your own memory can supply it. That is a small mechanical difference with a large effect on which pairs you can still tell apart in May.
Turning a unit review sheet into a set
Most AP Psychology classes hand out a review sheet per unit, and most students read it twice and file it. Upload the sheet as a PDF or photograph the page and the app builds questions from your teacher's own phrasing, which matters here because the vocabulary is standardised but the emphasis is not. Some classes drill research methods heavily; others spend longer on disorders and treatment. Questions built from your sheet follow your class rather than an average of all classes.
The gap between February and May
Biological bases arrive early and are examined last, which is the widest gap in a course that already spans five distinct areas. Cepeda and colleagues reviewed 254 studies of spacing in 2006 and found the same total minutes spread across days beat massing them; in 2008 they showed the useful interval scales with how long you need to hold the material. The practical version is a short return to unit one in March, when nothing is forcing you to. Cards produced here can be exported for that, or the app can schedule the return itself.
What this page does not state
You will not find the number of questions, the time allowed or the weighting between multiple choice and free response here. Those belong to the College Board, are published on the pages linked below, and are revised between cycles. A study page is read by students who cannot easily check a figure, which makes it the worst possible place to repeat one from memory.
Working around a timetable that is already full
The box at the top opens in a tab, takes pasted text and closes again, with nothing installed and nothing signed into, which makes it usable in a free period on a school machine. Unit sheets are read by the app, not by this box. It sits at wesolveapp.com and in the App Store for iPhone and iPad. Nothing is charged to begin; a free account gives two quizzes and two uploads per day, two recaps per week, two duels per day, and however many cards one upload yields. Android uses the site.

| Psychology material | Browser only | Full app |
|---|---|---|
| Typed definition list | Two sided cards instantly | Cards plus an explained quiz |
| Unit review sheet PDF | Cannot read a PDF | Questions in your teacher's phrasing |
| Study and researcher list | Blanks the name | Questions that ask for the attribution |
| Near neighbour terms | Forces you to supply the word | A reason under each answer |
| Unit one revisited in March | None, you export | A scheduled return |
Can it quiz me on researchers and their studies?
If the names are in the material you give it, yes. The fill in the blank output removes the most distinctive word in a line, which for a study description is usually the name attached to it.
Does it cover all five units?
It covers whatever you upload. The course is organised into five units by the College Board, and the app has no opinion about which of them you are revising; the file decides.
Where do I check the exam format?
On the College Board pages linked in the sources below. This page does not restate question counts or weightings, because they belong to the awarding body and change.
Will it explain a concept I do not understand yet?
That is not what it is for. It builds retrieval practice from material you already have. If you are meeting a concept for the first time, a lesson or a textbook is the right starting point.
Is the box at the top free?
It costs nothing, needs no account and has no limit, because it never contacts a server.
