<p>I know there are a million of these threads but whatever
I may be interested in studying
AP ES
AP Comp Gov
AP Statistics
AP Lit</p>
<p>I would need threes on all but Gov (which I don't think would be a problem because I've already started and its so interesting!).</p>
<p>Can anyone describe the difficulty of these and a guess on how long each would take?</p>
<p>I have taken AP Lang so I figure Lit would be easier.</p>
<p>Also USH, MaE, US Gov</p>
<p>I hear ES might be moderate enough.</p>
<p>Frankly, I’m not sure how you can do well with statistics and literature without extensive teacher feedback.</p>
<p>I self-studied APUSH in a month or so and got a 4. I read through an old 2003-era prep book I got from Goodwill, I read some chapters from an American Pageant textbook, and then I took some old multiple-choice tests I found on the Internet. I got most of the multiple-choice questions right on those tests, so I think the 4 is because I suck at timed writing and I never wrote any DBQs for practice.</p>
<p>I self-studied AP Statistics in like two weeks…I got the shortest, smallest prep book I could find and went through it. I got a 3.</p>
<p>I self-studied AP US Government the afternoon before the test. I read a prep book and went through all the AP US Government quizzes on Study Island. I got a 3.
The free-response questions seemed pretty commonsensical to me, probably more than they should have. I wrote a lot but my answers obviously weren’t very good. </p>
<p>The multiple-choice section of AP Lit (which I took a class for) struck me as an amped-up version of the “analyze this passage” parts of the ACT/SAT. Both of my essays sucked and I got a 4. I would recommend knowing a couple of books really well, and make them slightly less well-known books so if you screw something up they won’t know right away. :)</p>
<p>I’d advise not procrastinating as much as I did.</p>
<p>if you’re good at math, statistics is relatively easy</p>
<p>Ap Lit is reading. If you can commit yourself to reading the books that commonly show up on the test and have taken at honors/Ap english courses in the past, you should be good for a three.
Comp Gov shouldn’t be too bad since a lot of the information is commonly available on the internet.
ES and Statistics all depend on your background I think, so I have trouble commenting on either of them. Buy or pirate some study guides and look through a few chapters to see how easily you grasp the concepts and how much you are willing to study. Be honest with yourself.</p>
