<p>Until I found this site I had never heard of self studying an AP class. However, after hearing about it I have become more interested in it and I want to self study a few classes that my high school doesn't offer. However, I have some questions:
1) Do you need to sign up for anything or talk to anyone, or do you just buy the book and prep for the AP test?
2) What books are best to use to self study AP Human Geography and AP Psychology?
3) What are your experiences in doing this?(good or bad)
This is just something I am considering, nothing has been confirmed, I am just curious if doing this is worth it and whether or not anyone would recommend it. Thank you!</p>

Ask your teacher or school’s AP coordinator to sign you up for the test. They should allow you take it; it depends on the school. At my school, since self-studying AP exams are relatively new, they needed us to take preliminaries and do well on those. </p>

I’m in the IB diploma programme, and my only science course was chemistry. so i self-studied ap bio and ap phys c (e&m/m). it was nice, i learned a lot and scored 5’s :)</p>
<p>this should be posted in the AP forum</p>
<p>O, sorry about the misplacement:< and thank you for your help, I really appreciate it:)</p>
<p>I’ve never self studied something before, and I never intend to. But I know people that have, and there’s really no one you have to talk to/nothing you have to address until registration comes along.</p>
<p>If you want to self-study AP Psych, get “Myers in Modules”-8th Edition. We used it for AP Psych this year, and it cracked a lot of dirty jokes and put everything into a perspective that 16-24 year olds can relate to.</p>
<p>^I’ll look for that, thanks!:)</p>
