AP psychology: self-study or take course

<p>Flat out, should I take AP psychology or is it so easy that I don't even need to take the course?</p>

<p>Depends on you. Personally, I thought it was a really easy but interesting self-study, partly because I had little prior knowledge of psychology. I read through Barron’s a few times a month before the exam, took some old AP tests, and got a 5 on the real thing. But again, it depends what you yourself are capable of doing. If you find your classes pretty easy, even the advanced ones, and you’re interested in psychology, then by all means self-study. If not, then I would take the class. Good luck!</p>

<p>@elf4EVA Does getting a 5 require a lot of vocab memorization, did you use flash cards? </p>
