<p>If my school offers AP but I am unable to get in because of very strict reqs. could I participate in the AP Independent Study Program? </p>
<p>Advanced</a> Placement Program About AP Exams and Courses</p>
<p>Before you even hit reply, I noticed that it says there are no requirements, just a willingness to take on college level material. I am fine with that and I really want to take as many of these AP courses as I can I just need to find a way how. So, how can I go about doing this?</p>
<p>The website makes it sound like self-studying is a "program", when really, it's just studying by yourself and taking the AP test in May. There are, however, online AP classes that you could take if you're willing to pay for them. If you want to take the AP and your school offers the AP class, just talk to the AP teacher about study materials that you could use. I did that for AP Language and got a 4 with only a few hours of studying, while people in the class got as low as 2's. Good luck.</p>
<p>Yeah, self-studying isn't really a "program" like they make it out to be. It just means you read the material on your own, rather than in a class, and then take the tests in May.</p>
<p>There's no homework or anything? How would I go about doing this?</p>
<p>Could someone please explain this a bit more because It is not making sense to me. Alright I take the AP test in may, uh, how do I go about doing that? Exactly. Also, what about homework and all of that? Kids in these AP classes at school must also have a test every two weeks right? I mean, I understand but I need someone to elaborate a bit more on this.</p>
<p>It just means u buy a review book and study the course all on your own, then take the test.</p>
<p>It's not that bad, depending on what APs. Last year I self-studied 4 APs and got 5,5,4,3 (3 was for physics...hard to teach urself), along with another 2 5's in regular courses. It's not that bad, just be smart about it</p>
<p>I think I understand it now.</p>
