<p>I'm considering self-studying or both AP Economics tests and AP Psychology. </p>
<p>Honestly, I'm under the impression that for these tests you don't have to commit a huge amount of time. I, of course, could be completely wrong but that's just the impression many posters on CC. So, in terms of time commitment, how rigorous is it to self-study these APs?</p>
<p>If it helps, I'm interested in Economics so those won't bore me or anything.</p>
<p>AP Psychology was pretty easy to self-study. If you can memorize 500 vocab words by the test day, you should be able to get a 5.</p>
<p>(Check out the AP Psychology FRQ’s on the collegeboard website. It’s literally bullet points of psychology terms.)</p>
<p>AP Microeconomics shouldn’t be too difficult to self-study. I took the class as a junior and was either half asleep or working on homework for other classes and easily managed a 5 on the AP test. I’m not sure about psych, but economics isn’t very hard and is somewhat applicable.</p>
<p>My AP Chemistry class was a load of bull. The teacher didn’t really teach us anything so the whole class ended up trying to teach themselves to understand what the heck the teacher is saying. Sadly to say, I didn’t teach myself and ended up sleeping through the whole class most of the time. Anyways, my friends says that self-studying isn’t really hard, just time-consuming. I am considering self-studying for a couple AP test and possibly retaking that AP Chem and US History one, only this time I will seriously study like crazy. I took AP Psychology this year and I really didn’t pay attention to the teacher either, all I did was read the book. In my opinion, self-studying for psychology would be a cinch. I thought the test was pretty easy, hoping to get a 5, but who knows, I might just get a 3.</p>
<p>lol you sleep through the whole class most of the time, no wonder you is bad bad at chemistry. there’s something called a textbook, and the internet. </p>
<p>also for OP, economics shouldn’t be a problem if you are interested in it and willing to spend at least a few hours a week a few months before exam, and psych as people have said is an easier exam than most…</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone.</p>
<p>I’ve heard environmental science is easy too? </p>
<p>And what about AP Comp Sci for someone who has absolutely no experience with programming or anything like that?</p>
