<p>hi everyone. i was hoping to do sum AP self-studying, but there is onli about a month till the AP exams. i was wondering if anyone could recommend me sum APs that i could easily self study in a month time and still score a 5 on the exam. and with wut review/prep book. APs that i will be taking this yr are lit, chem, bio and psychology. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Well, self-studying for an AP in one month and still getting a five is not going to be really easy for any AP, but if you really want to self-study for one, then do it for the AP Language & Composition exam, especially if your naturally a good writer anyhow, or if you did well on your SAT or PSAT, and you should definitely use the Cliffnotes book. Other than that, I would say studying for the AP USH exam would be your second best bet, and use the AMSCO book to study for it, otherwise forget about that one, because the AMSCO book really, really kicks butt. Hope that helps.</p>
<p>psychology can be easily self-studied in a month, and human geography can be too if you spend some time reading the review book each night. If you're already a good writer, then you can take AP language and composition without studying too much.</p>
<p>I think AP Gov was really easy (with the Sparknotes powerpack). And AP language if you're a good writer. Also, I'm not taking the test but my AP econ class seemed super easy, so I bet you could do that one as well. As always, I recommend sparknotes.</p>
<p>And I don't think you could self-study APUSH in a month--there's just too much material.</p>
<p>Isn't AP Human Geo considered to be the easiest one? </p>
<p>The only prep book I saw for it was Barron's.</p>
<p>APs that could POTENTIALLY be studied in one month with a 5 (my opinion):</p>
<p>Gov, Env Sci, Psyc, Human Geo, Eng Lang/Lit(if you have a half decent literature background)</p>
<p>APs i'm taking i haven't started studying for yet:
biology
spanish lang
psychology
european history</p>
<p>is this possible? lol. i paid $300+... ugh.</p>
<p>lol, adorkable, all of those, with maybe the exception of psychology, seem to be some of the hardest exams. Take advantage of this break, STUDY!</p>
<p>haha i knoow.. ARGHH i'm so screwed. i know i have no chance at AP spanish lang so i don't care about that. i hope i do okay in the other 3. i'd start studying but our school gives us so much homework, it's impossible to find time..</p>
<p>psychology is easy. European history will be difficult.</p>
<p>Mmm im taking world history, psychology, human geo by myself. I think those are relatively easy.</p>
<p>I regret not self studying govpol, i heard that was easy too.</p>
<p>If you're not into memorization, take a language you're good at, in my case, Chinese.</p>
<p>uhhh how about the ap calc bc test? lol</p>
<p>It is actually weird, but if you go to the AP Central website, you can see that the percentage of 5's on an AP exam is actually the highest (and by A LOT) for calc bc.</p>
<p>hmm im now considering taking possible two or three more APs. im considering human geo, envrionmental sci, gov pol and maybe one history AP. for history, im leaning towards APUSH, since i could also take the SAT II for it too. but it does seem to be quite a bit of material to read within a month and ive heard that the DBQ for APUSH requires other outside reading. and i was wondering which history AP would be the easiest? also does anyone know if kaplan is good for micro/macroeconomics? i found this book and the REA book for APUSH in my house.
and to asdfsystema: haha i heard that the ap calc bc exam is slaughter.
hmm the high percentage of 5's is probably cuz all the smart kids take the exam. and prolly cuz the curve is generous.</p>
<p>any other recommendations for which exam to take and which books to use are welcomed=) thanks!</p>
<p>How about AP AP? It's a tough exam, but it basically covers human nature, the downgrading of society from conformist pressure based solely on numbers with no depth, no texture; as well as the ability for a corporation to monopolize an industry while hiding under false pretexts of standardizing intellectual achievements of future leaders and followers at a higher plane, thus resulting in lower inclination for achievement which contradicts the pretexts, which verifies a condition of ironic pushback on success due to coercive forces that do not push towards a greater, smarter world but towards a richer, capital one with increased depression, ignorance, and stupidity.</p>
<p>I think the PR book for it is the best, though it is a bit too basic, and in that case, the Barron's may be a good companion, even though it is too complex with superflous information. And I do not think you need outside information for its DBQ.</p>
<p>ap calc bc is a very easy AP test. if u took the class and do all ur hw and understand everything you get a 5.</p>
<p>I would imagine so, I mean if one is taking the course, one must be smart enough to get the 5 since he/she is on top of the nation as far as math is concerned, since most schools don't even offer it.</p>
<p>That's odd that most schools don't offer BC, because my school only offers BC, and we still have a huge passing rate.</p>
<p>only offers bc? bc is supposed to be harder than ab, right? I mean I know they cover different material, but still, isn't it harder? Or does your school just reject the idea of having the first two letters of the alphabet start with a and b, thus resulting in an off-beat alphabet song and a weird course offering?</p>
<p>AP Psychology is really just memorization of terms and knowing how to apply them. If you can learn the terms, top it off with a lot of practice, you should do fine. AP English Language and Composition is another that could be self-studied; memorize the literary terms and get a grasp of different rhetorical modes. That's really all you can do. If you're not a good writer and or you don't have a handle on critical reading, then you're not going to master those two skills in a month anyway, so decide wisely with this AP exam.</p>
<p>I'm considering saying AP US History, but that isn't just memorizing terms. You need to know the analysis of historical events, which you get from reading a textbook and attending class lectures or any other way your teacher teaches. You might be able to get by with a 4 by self-studying the AP US History exam. Remember, there is a writing section, and if you aren't a good writer, then again, you can't become one in a month, so decide wisely.</p>
