How to effectively self-study for AP Statistics

Test Preparation AP Mathematics & Computer Science
1

<p>I am a rising junior who is taking 3 AP Classes this year [Calc, Chem, Gov] and I want to see if I am capable of taking one on the side for the AP Test. I selected Statistics because I am good at math. What material do you guys recommend I use to self-study? I have heard Barron's book is good but I am better at learning through videos. Does anyone know any good sites or links that will assist me? How was the Stats test for those who took it? Thanks!</p>

<p><a href=“High School Statistics | Khan Academy”>https://www.khanacademy.org/math/probability&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Khan Academy isn’t AP per se, but the corresponding video may help you if you’re having trouble grasping the concept from the book.</p>

<p>If you want a text:</p>

<p>Barron’s is the best review book.</p>

<p>I self-studied and skated my way to a 5.</p>

<p>I didn’t self study for it per se, but if there was any time that I didn’t understand a topic or needed help on something, youtube is the way to go. I don’t remember any specific channels, but in the weeks before the test, I just took out the list of topics and watched a few review sessions of things I haven’t seen in a while.</p>

<p>The test for me, was surprisingly easy, despite not being good at math. Our teacher was really rigorous though and prepared us well, but getting a 5 was still pretty nice</p>

<p>@skieurope that stattrek website is great! do you think that website itself would prepare me for the test?</p>

<p>It is, right? I used that and Barron’s. I’m not sure I would have felt quite as prepared with stattrek alone, and I wasn’t willing to take the chance.</p>
