Ap - Read This Very Important- Self Study

Test Preparation

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>During Senior Year, if you tell colleges that you will self-study for AP courses such as AP Psychology, AP Govt, AP Human Geography, and AP Enviro, and you tell them that you are planning to take them the end of the year, but they are not on your course transcript, will colleges still be appealed by the number of APS and work you are putting in to study for for these exams? Or will they only regard courses that have been taught by teachers and in your school?</p>

<p>think about it... what if you tell collleges you are planning on self-studying, that is using just AP study guides (Barrons, Kaplans etc..), and say that you will take 3 additional AP exams next May 2006? Do you think that they will still give you somewhat credit, perhaps not equal to the value of taking a course, but close to it?</p>

<p>The funny thing is that, what if you get into college, and don't take the AP exams....?</p>

<p>no, i woudln't think they would give you credit unless perhaps you somehow mentioned it in your interview (if you have one) as an example of how hard of a worker you are but i would assume if would be an insignificatn tip</p>

<p>I don't know for sure, but I don't think it'll matter whether you take them or not. Colleges base your admission on what you already have done, and not what you plan to do.</p>
