Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>Ive taken Microeconomics, id say it was about a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10 w/ 1 being easiest. </p>

<p>Next year ill be taking American History (My school is small so im studying it by myself) </p>

<p>But I was thinking i should take another... preferably in something id like to major in so colleges can see dedication. I was thinking either statistics, macroeconomics, psychology, or US or Comp Government</p>

<p>Which one would be the easiest test for me to get a 5 on, and also you find the most interesting. Because im studying them by myself, i dont want it to be an overwhelming amount of work. So id like to here your recommendations.</p>

<p>Statistics is easy to self study for. I don't know much about Econ or Gov as I'm taking them next year. No idea about psychology either. I DO know, however, that many great colleges (most Ivies, i think) don't give you any credit for any score on US or Comp Government.
I did Stat for self study and I'm confident about a 5 on it even with major cramming in the last 4 weeks before exam.</p>

3

<p>i think that psych would be the easiest out of those, but since you are already taking USH, US gov would complement that.</p>

4

<p>So if i study statistics slowly from july to march and then review in april... i should be able to get a 5 right?</p>

5

<p>that should work. i started statistics in april and i think i got a 5.</p>

<p>lol, studying for an ap exam 4 weeks before the test day is not cramming,try something like 4 days.</p>

<p>Psych is by far the easiest out of those AP's. I took the course and I did absolutely nothing, if you look at my notebook, the notes stopped around october. I studied for the exam about 5 days before and I'm pretty confident I got a 5. Not to mention psychology in itself is a pretty interesting subject, I learned a few things that I'll never forget. So my recommendation, go for psych, you'll enjoy it and getting a 5 isn't exactly difficult.</p>

<p>Btw, if you get a 5 on ap psych, almost all colleges let you out of psych 101, unlike the gov ap's where you get absolutely nothing.</p>

<p>Is psych really that easy? Or are you one of those kids that reads something once and thats it, youll remember it for four years? Im not a super genius, Im a slightly above average kid. Anyone else?</p>

8

<p>i found that psych was easier to remember than other subjects since it pertains to yourself so much.</p>

<p>U.S. Govt is very easy to self-study.</p>

<p>Buy PR for it and study it well. I was getting 3's on practice tests at the beginning of the year. I read through PR the weekend before the AP US Govt exam, and I know I got a 4 or 5.</p>

<p>It doesn't cover court cases very well, so you'd want to research that on your own.</p>

10

<p>I would say Comp govt would be the hardest of those listed...</p>

11

<p>Psychology is pretty easy. I did it for 2 month, a little bit each week, and i was well prepared. I'm sure if you have the time, one month is enough. Barron's is very good, but i also used PR, both has great practice test, but Barron's got better text.</p>

12

<p>I think im going to do statistics, because my school has a scholars program, and we cover it a bit, and it will help towards my major (econ). It is also a more respectable AP then US govt. Thanks</p>

<p>Id love input on if people think self studying stats is a good idea</p>

13

<p>Yeah, I would also throw in a vote for psych. It was a really fun class. I didnt learn much until the day before the AP though. I think I would have scored almost the same without taking the exam except for the one FRQ about Schizophrenia which I might've tanked without having taken the course. I would recommend psychology A.P.</p>

14

<p>My former bf took both psych and stat in high school... he said psych was by far the easiest out of those two, even those he's more of a math person. Also, it sounded pretty enjoyable and interesting from his descriptions as IOwnedMay5SAT (nice username, btw), mentioned.</p>

15

<p>Psych and Stats were by far the two easiest APs I took in high school, so I think you would be safe with either of those. I haven't taken the others.</p>

16

<p>I wouldn't recommend self-study for AP USH. It's way better to actually take the AP class.</p>

17

<p>US gov is ridiculously easy, as would be macro if you've already taken micro. macro is also far more interesting (to me at least) than micro.</p>

18

<p>Psych is the easiest b/c all you have to really do is memorize vocab,psychologist and major ideas and your set. I not too sure abput stats takign it next year. Heard its way easier then Calc</p>
