Official 2011 AP Self Study Thread

<p>^ Woah, what else have you decided to take?</p>

<p>For me I should be self-studying:</p>

<ul>
<li>Psychology</li>
<li>Art History</li>
<li>Environmental Science </li>
<li>U.S. Government and Politics
(- Comparative Government and Politics… maybe)</li>
</ul>

<p>bio. not even half way through cliffs yet. how can you be self studying more than one ap? im having trouble finding time for one!</p>

<p>^^^
Human Geo. I have 2 1-week breaks(Ski Week and Spring Break), so I’ll study 2 of them then. I’ll be done with Barron’s World History book this weekend, and I’ll hopefully have my APEuro book finished by Ski Week(at the end of February).</p>

<p>lol it’s only nine.</p>

<p>Quick Question: Is it too late for me to jump on this bandwagon for the AP exams in May? If not, which APs would you recommend taking?</p>

<p>Thank you very much. :]</p>

<p>omgggg im so scared for the ap exams…it’s my first time taking them wahh</p>

<p>i’m taking Chem, Lang, and Calc BC at school, and I’m self-studying Physics C and Computer Science.</p>

<p>Human Geography is just common sense, pretty easy. Know all the terms though.</p>

<p>art history will be the death of me.</p>

<p>Self-studying</p>

<p>Calc BC
CS A
English Lang
Physics C (both)
Psych</p>

<p>I could self-study Env Sci and Human Geo as well, but I’m taking 10 AP tests this year and $1000 is already plenty to pay.</p>

<p>I’m selfing APES, AP HG, and AP Bio. Oh, and kind of AP Psych.</p>

<p>By the way, to the people who are self studying AP Computer science, do you have prior programming knowledge or have you taught yourself it all from scratch? I’m thinking about selfing this next year and I need tips.</p>

<p>I was gonna self-study AP US Gov, AP Psych, APES and AP Bio but I think I’m gonna hold off on Gov.</p>

<p>Self-studying AP Euro and AP Art History this year.</p>

<p>Im self studying AP European History and AP Calc BC (I have a class for AB). Last year I self studied AP Psych and AP Human Geography.</p>

<p>How long they each take to learn:</p>

<p>AP European History: 3 months of solid studying
AP Calc BC: 1 month of solid studying
AP Psych: 4 days of solid studying (I have a friend who only found out she was taking the test four days before it… needless to say she locked herself in a quiet room and studied (she got a five))
AP Human Geography: This one really depends. If you have a solid background in basic geography, and have common sense (such as knowing that milk can spoil quickly), it will take maybe 3 hours to memorize the terms. On the other hand, my idiotic friend studied for months on end, (keep in mind, he thinks that Chicago is in Switzerland).</p>

<p>Im taking physics B, U.S history, and english language at my school and self studying AP Stat and MAYBE APES</p>

<p>Im three chapters into the Kaplan Book for AP Stat.</p>

<p>^^ “have common sense (such as knowing that milk can spoil quickly)”</p>

<p>I’m screwed :P</p>

<p>I’m doing AP World :)</p>

<p>To people self studying computer science: do you have prior programming experience or are you learning it all yourself?</p>

<p>I’m self-studying AP Macro and AP Micro and kind of self-studying AP Calc BC (already took Calc AB and Math HL).</p>

<p>I’m also taking AP Spanish Lang and AP Stats, but I’m enrolled in those courses right now.</p>

<p>I’m self-studying
Euro
World
Physics C EM(and technically Mechanics)
Human Geo</p>
