Confuzzled: Did I self-study??

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>Alright, so this year I took three AP exams:
AP Calculus AB
AP US History
AP English Language</p>

<p>However, my english class was not an AP english course, and nobody else in my grade took the exam. My question is, since I received a score of 5 on the exam, did I self-study?
Here's why I'm confused:</p>

<p>1) I didn't study. I took a diagnostic test on Sparknotes, got a 5, and called it a day.
2) I didn't really need to study anything, considering I am already fluent in the English Language.</p>

<p>So, would a college view this as a "self-study"?</p>

<p>I’m not an expert on this, but: if you didn’t take the actual class for AP Language but you took the exam, you self-studied. Because you technically “prepared” for the test without an official AP class to help you.</p>

<p>Yes, you did.</p>

<p>Alright thanks. Because the self-studying process didn’t actually involve any studying…so I didn’t know.</p>
