<p>If I study Barrons thoroughly and go over all the practice tests as well as the tests on the CB site, will I be able to land the 5. Please share your personla experiences. Thanks!</p>
<p>BUMP, somebody help...</p>
<p>son used Barron's last year -- actually, his teacher also used it to formulate class tests; the teacher was phenomenal, and the class had a lot of 4's and 5's.</p>
<p>Thanks bluebayou. Any miore replies please?</p>
<p>Bump.........</p>
<p>For those who've self-studied without taking an AP Stats class, how much study time do you think is necessary to do well on the exam?</p>
<p>Read the book once, do the six practice test in it, and you should be all set. You dont need a 5, just a 4, atleast for all the colleges Ive checked out. All in all, read about 50 pages a night, and do the end of the section questions. There are 360 pages in the book. It gets repetitive because all the ways to perform hypothesis tests are the same. Also, read about how to use your calculator first, because it does everything on the test that is not logic. There are 40 mc on each practice test and each section takes me less than 30 minutes, they give you 90. I didnt do any open response ones yet, so those might take longer to the actual time given. All in all, expect to spend anywhere from 12 hrs to 20 hrs if you want to get a 5. It looks like a lot, but once you read through the t-tests, z-tests you can basically just look at the formula and do stuff for difference of two populations and the other tests. The best bet, is to find someone in the stats class and ask them to teach you probability. I think that I could teach someone a lot faster than they could get it from the book. So do that, and then just go into the inferential part. This was a lot of rambling, I just realized that.</p>
