<p>Im a sophomore and my school only limits us to 7 classes; I wanted to take Ap environmental science but I couldn't fit into my schedule. </p>
<p>So have you self-study an Ap subject and still recieved a score of 3 or better.
What should I do if I want to self-study Ap environmental science?</p>
<p>There are people who have. But let me tell you that only nerds do it.</p>
<p>I have self-studied 5 - Bio, Psych, Gov, English Lang, and Chem. Received a 3+ on every one but chem. </p>
<p>Buy an AP textbook or a college textbook (I suggest an AP text) would be your best bet. Then get some prep books and APES isn't very hard so you shouldn't have much trouble. I too am self-studying APES this year, but I am only using the AP prep books. Actually, I have only used prep books and never a textbook and it didn't bite me until the AP Chem test.</p>
<p>If you have the class at your school, it's relatively easy to self-study. I did APUSH on my own last year. I just borrowed a textbook, read it, borrowed friends' DBQ's from the class, read those, did some practice tests from the PR book, and attended the mock AP test that the APUSH class held. And I got a 5.</p>
<p>I second the APES being relatively easy. I'm pretty sure if you can get a textbook or prep book and read those, plus try out a couple of practice tests, that you'll be fine.</p>
<p>Last year I self-studied for English Lit. Aced it. Easy 5.</p>
<p>hookem168, why don't you answer the OP's question rather than throw out a little brag? Or does bragging about a school accomplishment make you feel special inside?</p>
<p>^ lol, all I read was the title question, which is really the larger issue here.</p>
<p>I don't much about environmental science, so me giving advice about self-studying for that particular exam would be completely irrelevant. Al I can tell you, OP, is that self-study is entirely possible.</p>

Have you ever self-studied for an Ap Exam?

Not in the past, but currently I am.</p>
<p>i self-studied spanish literature and i got a 4. the key was really the book (actually books, but anyway)... without the right book, it's tough to pass. go to amazon, type in "AP Environmental Science" and check out which textbooks are recommended. don't look at the barron's/PR/etc., just the actual textbooks.</p>
<p>Yes; actually, many people have self-studied multiple courses at the same time and still earned perfect scores. If you want to find a good textbook, there's a sticky in the AP Exam forum that gives some recommendations. Remember: Barrons or PR (which are just review books) aren't adequate to use for self studying.</p>
<p>I think I'm going to talk to my band director and work with him so I can take and pass the AP Music Theory test. </p>
<p>I've yet to try though.</p>
<p>Son self-studied for the CompSci (A part, I think?). He, too, purchased the AP study book. His HS offered only a basic computer course and he was very interested in computers having taken some enrichment courses at college campuses during summers of freshman and soph years. He scored a 5 on it, I believe. And, while he really did not receive any credit for it once he arrived at college, I think it probably impressed admissions when he was applying to colleges. Use the AP study books as guides and I would imagine you will be fine!</p>
<p>I took Calc AB online and self studied the extra material for BC. I would suggest getting a review book and finding a website with open online lessons, just so that you can have some of the more complicated concepts explained to you.</p>
