<p>Hey guys!</p>

<p>I'm interested in self studying AP Psychology and taking the exam this may. I've never self studied, or even heard of anyone at my school who has. Anyway, I just have a few questions:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Will I be able to get at least a 4 (hopefully a 5) with a read-through of Barron's, and memorizing all of Barron's flash cards? I will have all of February, March, and April.</p></li>
<li><p>How do I sign up for the exam? Is there a deadline?</p></li>
<li><p>Can I take the exam at my school that doesn't offer AP Psychology, but does offer many others? If not, where do I take the exam?</p></li>
<li><p>Are freshman allowed? </p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>However you choose to study, Real AP exams (past) will be your best indicator of your success on the real one. </p>

<p>Talk with your AP Coordination person at your school, registering for AP exams is coming up next month.</p>

<p>Again, this is all your school’s policies and regulations. I wouldn’t see why not?</p>

<p>Many people I know have been saying that they completely treated the AP Psych class in school as a blow off but did stupendously well on the AP test using the Baron’s book, so I think you’ll be alright if you’re good with memorizing stuff. :)</p>

<p>My son self-studied using AP U.S. History “Crash Course” and swears by it, he got a 4 and only studied the night before the exam.</p>

<p>He loved the book so much he asked me to buy him the “Crash Course” books for AP Gov, AP Psych & AP Calc. He uses all of them to study for his class exams also.</p>

<p>They are small & short and get right to the point, no blah blah & over-summarizing, just the bare bones of what you really need to know. Paid less then $10 each.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply. I’ll check out the books! For Psychology, I still think I wi go with Barron’s. It seems that everyone says that is the best.</p>
