Exactly. The reverse is true for Environmental Science. Typically it has seniors that want an easy class. (compared to physics, biology, chemistry)</p>
<p>Thus, the score distribution is not an indication of difficulty.</p>
<p>So far we have: </p>
<p>Psychology - Barron’s
Human Geography - Princeton (are you sure?)
Governments -
Environmental -
I dont think I am going to be self-studying art or music… anything else</p>
<p>^5 Steps for Psych self-study is very good also. Please add that. I used that this year, plus Barron’s flashcards (not Barron’s book though, although I know it’s another good option as you mentioned)</p>
<p>I would not call AP Comparative Politics an easy AP test. The MC was easier than I expected going in, and FR wasn’t too bad, but the FR are kind of hit/miss depending on how they choose to score it. There is a lot of information to know, and you’re expected to know details (for the FR, at least). It is very easy to get blind sided on FR questions (England has a Supreme Court? I thought they had proposed it but never created it. There’s a difference between political rights and civil liberties?)</p>
<p>If you’re going for it, the Ethel Wood AP Comparative Gov’t and Politics: A Study Guide is the best.</p>
<p>For AP Human - I used PR and Barron’s. I waaaaaaaaaaaaaay overprepared. Barron’s by itself would suffice, and you should know a few facts that are not in the book.</p>
<p>Psychology - Barrons + CC
Human Geography - PR
Governments - CC +PR for US; Ethel Wood for comp
Environmental - Smartypants + PR</p>
<p>whats smartypants?</p>
<p>Don’t self study Music Theory unless you have at least a moderate music background or perfect pitch. It involves a lot of listening skills.</p>
<p>I’m planning on self-studying for Comp Sci with no programming background whatsoever. I have bookmarked a few Java tutorials (some basic, some rigorous) and Youtube videos and lectures (from TheNewBoston and Stanford’s OCW) that I plan to use. What review book is the best for CS, and when should I be using it–before beginning any of these tutorials, or just as a review after going through all the tutorials above?</p>
<p>Barrons and Be Prepared for the AP Computer Science Exam are the two best books for APCS.</p>
<p>As For AP Environmental, Princeton Review seems to be the new rage. Smartypants is better for cramming the night before, though since the exam is getting a bit harder every year, the book might not cover as much as is needed. Definitely get PR.</p>
<p>Comp Gov - Ehtel Wood</p>
<p>US. Gov - PR i think</p>
<p>Psychology - Barrons</p>
<p>environmental science isnt THAT EASY… lol. And AP Art History is NOT easy. A ton of memorization!</p>
<p>I would agree that AP Art History is not an easy self study. Too much memorization, and the opinion of a teacher is crucial when learning how to analyze pieces of art.</p>
<p>Environmental, use Princeton Review, Releaesed tests, and CB’s FRQs. thats all i used to get a 5!</p>
<p>Lit is very easy as well… Psych and US Gov are also good.</p>
