<p>If I took the general (16wk) Statistics class at a community college would it be enough preparation for the exam??</p>
<p>i recommend reading the syllabus on collegeboard.com and then deciding if you know enough of the stuff that the exam covers.</p>

<p>If you don't pick up Barron's AP Statistics and study before the test.</p>
<p>another question on statistics..how long would it take to self-study it..w/o a college course...lik how many hours a day..how many months?</p>
<p>If you're good at math and have the right materials, I'd say a week, 4-6 hours a day</p>
<p>^ lol....4-6 hours a day...wth!</p>
<p>that's almost impossible unless:</p>
<p>a) you don't have any other hard classes (AP, Honors)
b)you don't have any EC's/ community service stuff
or
c) you don't sleep :)</p>
<p>I'd say 3 months is good. Start in february and you should be fine with barrons.</p>
<p>with only the barrons, or along with a textbook?</p>
<p>I've been taking AP Stat. class since Sept. and I feel like I haven't learn much. We have a really old text book (published in 1996), and the teacher doesn't teach. Normally we just read each section and do some problems. Right now we are on proportions (p "hat").</p>
<p>Should I get Barron's and start prepping?</p>
<p>Just curious: Why do both? Wouldn't the stats class at the (accredited, I presume) college transfer? (My daughter's actually enrolled in stats at a local community college.)</p>
<p>schmoomcgoo, i go to community college part time and the credits will transfer to a washington state university, but it is very unlikely that they would transferto a private college.</p>
<p>holy crap, you are only on p hat? have you started hypothesis testing yet?</p>
<p>I think the part that would be extremely hard to self study is experimental design. Also, make sure you know how to use your calc to calculate normal probiblility, binomial probibility, linear regression lines, and hypothesis tests.</p>
<p>With the calculator, there is VERY little math in stat. You just plug the numbers in and it spits out a result. The only formula that we need that is not on the formula sheet is the formula to figure out a minimum n for a specific margin of error.</p>
<p>I think it would probably be pretty easy to self study for. One of my friends last year started studying around april break and got a 5. Granted, he's incredibly smart and most people probably can't do it that quickly, it shouldn't take you long to do.</p>
<p>Yes. We've done hypothesis testing. We did t-testing, z-testing, and we're doing "p-testing". We just learned about chi-square test yesterday.</p>
