<p>I would really rather not have to take a college course in psychology and I would rather get it out of the way. I am going to go to University of Illinois and they require a 5 in order to get credit.</p>

<p>I would have to self-study and I still have a ton of time. In addition I would be studying for AP Calc AB and AP Gov't and Politics with the classes in school. Is it fairly easy to get a 5 on the test? If so how much and what should I study. I like the Princeton Review books. If I'm going to do this I want to know it well enough where there is no question if I am going to get a 5 so I can skip the course so help me out!</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>anyone? I contacted my assistant principal and I can take it at school</p>

<p>I don't know about Psy. or Gov. but I can tell you something about calculus ab.it is rather easy comparing with more advanced courses in calculus,you just need to remember some formulas and graphs of functions,and that's almost enough.but ,choosing a good textbook is very important.Once I used Dale Varberg's Calculus,it is a horrible book,with little examples,some stunningly hard questions,and very short texts to read.I even could not understand how to use the chain rule until I read relevant sections from Thomas' calculus.(this one can be one of the best calculus textbooks I ever read)
and,I do suppose that if you really understand textbooks,it's okay skip reading prep books.</p>

<p>oh I don't have any trouble with Calc, I'm learning that through school and I'm understanding it well.</p>

<p>I want to self study for Psychology though but I want to make sure I'm going to get a 5 so it's not a waste of time.</p>

<p>yea its easy. i just briefly browsed through the barron's ap psych book in a week and got a 4 on the practice test. which i completed in like 30 minutes.</p>

<p>lollllz.</p>

<p>go through the prep book about 3 times. you'll be completely set.</p>

6

<p>sweet. I hope I Get a 5</p>

7

<p>Wait, really? Are you a genius or is it actually that easy?</p>

8

<p>from what I hear it's pretty easy. I'm going to try. My book is on the way</p>

9

<p>Apparently, if you have even one speck of intelligence, you can get a 4.</p>

<p>I'm taking it now and it's so easy.</p>

<p>And 2/3s of my teacher's class last year got 5's, and the rest 4's.</p>

<p>AP Psychology is just simply memorizing, no critical thinking.</p>

10

<p>AP Psych is not as easy as most people think. It requires a lot of effort, maybe just in my school, but the class in my school is hard. And most kids DONT get 5's only like 20% do.</p>

11

<p>But who takes AP Psychology? The demographics who take AP Psych are a lot different than the ones of those who take AP Physics C, for instance.</p>

12

<p>wow hilsa that sounds awesome. I'm definitely going to put effort into it</p>

13

<p>Just know the famous psychologists, their famous experiments and what these experiments demonstrated + all the vocab (there is lots of it).</p>

14

<p>its easy and interesting, it makes other ap's seem like a joke</p>

15

<p>This is going to be sweet! Thanks guys!</p>

16

<p>AP Psychology is pretty much all memorizing the terms. It doens't even test that broad of a range of Psychology.</p>
