<p>Hi, couple of questions.</p>
<p>If I independent study AP Gov, does that AP get on my transcript and considered the same in college admissions as a regular AP class?</p>
<p>Also, what is requried to self study Gov? Does it take an incredible amount of work and time (as much as if you attended a regular AP Gov class) or is it less? What materials are required?</p>
<p>It does take alot of studying. Buts its doable.</p>
<p>Could you be a tad more specific?</p>
<p>well, it takes some memorization and undertanding of the underlying issues. But if you want to study just for the exam, Princeton Review is all you need. It covers the entire concepts for the Ap exam.</p>
<p>Well, if I study just for the exam does that count as an AP on my transcript?</p>
<p>What's on your HS transcript depends on your high school. Most likely, it won't be listed as a class at all (unless you take a course through some program pre-approved by the school). Many high schools include a list of AP exam scores on your transcript, and if your HS does, then it may be listed there</p>
<p>So what is the benefit of self studying?</p>
<p>The benifit of self studying if a senior:
If you pass the AP, you (might) get college credit.</p>
<p>I am taking AP USH and we are using the book called "A People and A Nation" fourth edition. This book is extremely hard to understand for me. Would reading PR help me in the course as well as the AP exam?</p>
<p>For APUSH, your best bet is using either the REA or AMSCO review books.</p>
<p>Thanks. I will try to look into the AMSCO one.</p>
