<p>I was thinking of taking the AP Psych exam and originally, I was planning on self studying it but I've recently discovered the CTY Distance program and I was wondering which would look good on apps.</p>
<p>Self studying or taking the CTY AP course?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>You mean a CTY online AP course?</p>
<p>yes that is what i mean.</p>
<p>Hm. I actually took AP Psych through CTY Online, but it was over the summer (2006) and my summer was too insane for me to devote much time to the course :( (another story). So I didn't take the AP test, since I had no idea that was a stupid thing to do, and I can't comment too much on that.</p>
<p>But I also took Calc BC through CTY Online this past summer, and I have to say it was worth it for its own benefit. In terms of the AP test, I'm finding practice tests ridiculously easy. But through the rigor of the course I learned so much about math in general that I think I'm way stronger in trig now than when I was a trig student.</p>
<p>So I have praise for CTY Online, but take that with a grain of salt, since I'm not sure how much it corresponds to Psych, which I actually don't think was quite that great - after all, I was afraid of the AP test.</p>
<p>I'm sort of thinking you'd probably be fine self-studying AP Psych and if you still want to do CTY Online you might be better off taking a math or writing course that's harder to self study (writing isn't for AP credit but I hear it's good, and it would help you a lot academically).</p>
<p>ah i see okay thanks but would it look good on my apps to have taken a CTY online course? or take the AP online course and not take the exam...?</p>
