<p>Which is easier, which requires less time studying and which has easier questions?</p>
<p>Since they’re both fairly easy, whichever one you have the most passion and interest in will be easier for you.</p>
<p>Depends.</p>
<p>If you have a natural knack for math, then take statistics.
If not, take psych =]</p>
<p>teamfrangela: actually, AP Stats is apparently not a “natural” math class, but rather more verbally oriented; the AP stats teacher at my daughter’s school has told her that the kids who are the most math oriented are the ones who have the most trouble in the class…</p>
<p>to the OP: really depends on how difficult the class is at your particular HS…</p>
<p>Rodney, that’s debatable. Although I can see why it is called verbally oriented when compared to other math courses, it should not be considered entirely verbally centric. It probably depends on the teacher’s interpretation of the study of statistics.</p>
<p>^^^yup…</p>
<p>I’m sorry I didnt clarify, I mean the AP test, Im already taking both in highschool im pretty good at both but for the AP test which will require less time studying or is easier as a test</p>
<p>I had this exact predicament and chose AP psych. Regardless of the 5 everyone gets in our AP stats course without studying, colleges will rarely accept it. AP Psych, on the other hand, will almost always get you out of/credit for an intro to psychology course and unanimously prepare you better for more advanced courses than a college semester in the Ivy League ever could.</p>
<p>why do you have to choose, can’t you just take one at a later date if the times conflict? I would choose stat, but that’s because i’m more math-oriented.</p>
<p>I agree with KGB1337. The AP Psychology exam is very straightforward and easy to prepare for. There are 100 multiple-choice questions and just two free-response questions.</p>
<p>Psych has always been known as one of the easier exams. If you don’t want much thinking and more memorization, I suggest you go for that.</p>
