<p>Specifically: AP Env. Sci, AP Psych, AP US Gov., and AP Human Geo.</p>
<p>I'm taking APUSH and AP Bio right now, so I thought that APES and APUSG would be excellent self-study choices--I'm doing very well in both classes, continually getting As on all the tests uncurved and regularly beating the teacher's curve.</p>
<p>I also heard AP Psych and AP Human Geo were exceptionally easy--but how easy?</p>
<p>It takes forever. You’ll never be able to do it. Never.</p>
<p>Honestly though, apparently all there is to Human Geography is doing a detailed study of the Barrons book.</p>
<p>I self-studied both Human Geography and Environmental Science last year (my sophomore year). My advice to you is to start early if you want 5’s, and don’t be afraid to buy more than one prep book. I suggest two per subject, since no prep book is perfect. If you really want to learn the material in-depth, I suggest buying textbooks. For HG I used Rubenstein’s Cultural Landscape and for Environmental Science Earth as a Living Planet. PM me if you want more info or advice.</p>
<p>Hm. So do you think that I’ll be able to handle this, if I can easily handle my current courseload?</p>
<p>I self studied 3 AP tests: Comparative Government, Psychology, and Stats. </p>
<p>I ended up getting a 5 on CG, 5 on Psych, and 4 on Stats.</p>
<p>I spent perhaps 3-4 days (sort of just browsing through the book, no intense reading of any sort) on the CG book (Ethel Woods). The overall pace of reading that book was very slow and very casual. It was as if I were reading a novel or something of the like, no pressure at all.</p>
<p>For Psychology, it ended up being around 5-6 hours of intense reading a day or two before the test (maybe a little more, like 6-7 perhaps). It all worked out fine in the end. The test is really easy if you have a good relatively short term memory. I honestly felt like I aced the test. I actually bought two books for this because I felt the Barron’s book was too long after I got through half of it, so I finished the other half of psychology with Cliff’s. </p>
<p>Stats was pretty intense as well. I didn’t get a 5, but I didn’t expect to with only self studying, stats, for me, seemed like one of the classes having a teacher for would have been nice. I ended up sleeping for 2 hours before this test and spent the 6 hours before that test going through the Stats study guide. I forget what it was called but it wasn’t one of those typical test prep company’s book. I think it was from McGraw-Hill? Not sure anymore. That was a really good book, but nonetheless I only got a 4. I was pretty happy with that 4 though, considering I still beat half of the entire AP Stats classes.</p>
<p>Hi guys,
I just have a quick question. I’m in my junior year of highschool and really would like to push myself and self study some AP classes plus my school is very small so they only offer 3 i think… As of right now I’m thinking about self studying AP euro ,world history and environmental science, do you think that’s to many for junior year? I’m still taking 5 regents at the end of this year also. I’m pretty sure i would be able to handle it ,just looking for some advice :)</p>
<p>bump 
please</p>

<p>I would recommend you self study things such as Psychology, Comparative Government, Environmental Science, or Human Geography. History tests are tedious and tend to take longer to study (unless you really want to self study them because you want to read about history; then by all means go for it).</p>
<p>Thank you Wyaeiga , As of right now I just found out that two history teachers in my school are happy with helping me along with self studying the social studies APs, so that should help I’m hoping. And yes I’m studying them mostly out of pure interest (but its also a plus that i might be able to receive credit :D)</p>
<p>I self studied Psychology and Human Geo for 2-3 weeks each and received 4 on both.</p>
<p>Are Comparative Government and US Government easy to self-study? How much work do they entail?</p>
