AP Independent Study?

<p>Hi. :] </p>

<p>I'm switching schools next year (hopefully) and just wanted to get some more information about doing independent studies for AP courses.... AP is kind of a foreign concept here. When should I start? (I'll be in grade ten next year. Should I wait a while?) Also, should I do this online? How else can I do it? Will someone in the school (like a teacher or guidance counselor maybe) help me with it? Will they supply the books? How will I take the exam? I have a lot of questions about this because I'm not sure what to do. I haven't yet contacted the school because it's closed for the holidays, but I'm probably going to do that tomorrow and ask them about how they handle AP, since the school doesn't offer it. However, the school does have an advanced set of classes for stronger students. It's a really well-known program in the province, and I'm going to be in it if I go to that school. If that's the case, will I still need AP? </p>

<p>Thanks! :]</p>

<p>I would recommend you take this to the “AP” forum. I think the people there are more qualified to handle this question.</p>

<p>I didn’t even know they had an AP forum! :stuck_out_tongue: Thank you! :]</p>

<p>Go to the SAT/ACT forum and then click AP Tests Preparation at the the top. There is tons of info on self-study.</p>
