<p>can u guys help me out?
thanks in advance!</p>
<p>just Chem, but it was okay. if you don't care about the subject just wanna self-study something i say try for AP Psych and AP Human Geo. Or you can also do AP Macro/Micro if you want.As for SATs they're a littl harder to sefl-study because a few questions can change your grade if you're aiming for a high score like an 800. For APs, the range for a 5 is like 67-100%</p>
<p>thanks! i'll look into it</p>
<p>One thing to make sure you do: stay diligent on your study schedule. A friend of mine who graduated last year took French from 7th grade on, and was one of the best French students, but then she dropped it the last semester to go back to playing in the band, and didn't study for it at all. She ended up not taking it because she just didn't feel prepared. You really need to make it a part of your daily studies, just like you would if you were taking the class.</p>
<p>I self studied AP Psych and it was really easy. I basically just bought the Princeton Review book for it, read it over the course of two or three weeks (the weeks right before the test), and got a 5. </p>
<p>As for how to start, just get a review book and read it! If you have any questions about the material, find a friend/teacher who understands it and ask them - the best advice I can give is don't be embarrassed to ask questions.</p>
<p>I self-studied for AP Biology. I used the Cliff's book. The test wasn't too bad, considering the subject material is memorization of facts and basic processes. The test preparation material in Cliff's was sufficient to adequately cover everything I needed to know along with suitable practice MC questions and FR questions....although FR questions can be found on the college board website, which I did use to an extent. </p>
<p>I took the test this year, and I felt as if I did only slightly worse on it than my other AP tests -- I'm guessing a 3 or 4...but I could have done better with more studying.</p>
