<p>None are available at my school, but I would really like to self-study a few. Does anyone know how I do this? Do I study the course, and then take an exam and that's it? </p>
<p>Also, what are the prerequisite? I'm interested in Statistics, American History, and Government/Politics.</p>
<p>Damn... I found a school that offers students the chance to take AP exams (and I guess self-study them) but I have no idea how to get in!!! I contacted them.</p>
<p>Basically, to self-study, here's generally what you do:</p>
<ol>
<li>Get a textbook or study guide or both.</li>
<li>Read it and study for the test.</li>
<li>Register for the test.</li>
<li>Take the test.</li>
</ol>
<p>So basically you're trying to teach yourself a college course. If you're interested in Stat, History, and Government, you can buy some used or new textbooks or study guides and just study. That's basically it. Make sure you try to get a study group though. Study groups often help.</p>
<p>And make sure you get acquainted with the format of the test. For example, in US history, you have a multiple-choice section of 80 questions in 55 minutes. Then you have to write 3 essays. The first is a document-based questions in which you read documents and support your own viewpoint on a question (sort of like something historians do). This is about an hour long. Then you have two free-response questions. You can choose from a choice of two for each FRQ, and you have 35 minutes (I think) to answer each question.</p>
