<p>I am thinking of taking either AP Statistics or AP Calculus AB online. Which one would be easier to do? I am a strong math student and I am good at memorizing things. Is it possible to do both? Can I self-study for either or both of them?</p>
<p>STAT Is a joke. If you are good at math, I would recommend taking AB instead. It is way more useful in college. If you are good at memorizing, then Stats will be even easier. Your choice…</p>
<p>Yeah I would definitely take Calc. If you can do calculus, you can learn stats but no matter what you study in college, you’ll probably have to do some level of calculus. Where are you thinking of taking the course online? I have a tutoring company called Ignition Tutoring ([Remarkable</a> Tutors. Online. | Ignition Tutoring](<a href=“HugeDomains.com”>HugeDomains.com)) that basically matches Stanford students who aced the APs with students currently taking AP classes. We don’t teach the entire class, we just help you to study for your tests and the AP test in May.</p>
<p>When I was in high school, I self-studied for the World History AP test. I took it and got a 5 on it. It was a really good experience because my school didn’t offer World History AP but we got a couple people together and studied for the test w/ a tutor. It’s definitely not out of the question to self-study and if your school doesn’t offer the course or if you can’t fit it in your schedule at school, you’ll still get the exact same college credit and ap scholar awards as if you had taken it at school so as long as you work hard, you’re really at no disadvantage at all! Good luck!</p>
<p>I am thinking of taking the course on FLVS. I will check out Ignition Tutoring. How was World History? I am going to take it at my school next year and I need opinions on the class. I have schedule conflictions so I will have to take some of the courses online or self-study. I’m glad I won’t be at a disadvantage. My middle school guidance counselor had told me that colleges do not like students who take online classes. I guess she was wrong.</p>
<p>Yeah that is ridiculous. I have a ton of friends at Stanford who either took community college courses or virtual courses in addition to their high school coursework. Many schools just don’t offer as many AP classes as some of the prep schools your peers at a school like Stanford will have gone to.</p>
<p>World History AP was not hard at all but I did study very diligently. History is always just memorization at that level and a little bit of writing. If I were you, I would get the Barrons AP World History book and then I would use something like quizlet ([Flash</a> cards, vocabulary memorization, and study games | Quizlet](<a href=“http://quizlet.com/]Flash”>http://quizlet.com/)) or anki ([Anki</a> - friendly, intelligent flashcards](<a href=“http://ankisrs.net/]Anki”>http://ankisrs.net/)) to help you study. As you read through the book and come across facts that you do not already know, quickly put them into these flashcard systems and then review daily.</p>
<p>By the way, I wrote a blog post about my experience taking AP tests and the strategy I used if anybody’s interested ([How</a> I got a 5 on 13 AP tests - Ignition Blog](<a href=“HugeDomains.com”>HugeDomains.com)). Let me know what you think and feel free to ask me questions on Twitter @StanfordBlair</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
