curriculum note

This video uses old AP Psychology unit numbering (old 'Unit 1' = Scientific Foundations/Research Methods, old 'Unit 2' = Biological Bases of Behavior), which no longer matches the current curriculum structure. It also describes the 2021 exam format, administration dates, and FRQ rubrics, which may be outdated.
