<p>who here is self studying APs? What course are you doing and how much time do you spend on it everyday? I'm curious because i'm suppoused to be self studying AP US history but I haven't been keeping up as much lately. Anyone else with the same problems?</p>
<p>I'm self-studying AP Physics. I don't know if it's B or C or A or whatever, I just know that I have a big physics book with 40-some chapters and I've read about 15 by now. I work on it about an hour every week, but it's a lame-ass effort.</p>
<p>Oh crap.</p>
<p>I'm going to read a lot over the winter break. I'm going to hole myself up in a room and teach myself Physics.</p>
<p>Oh, and I taught myself AP Calculus BC in my Calculus class, which is AB. I guess I spend about two or three hours a week at most studying it at home.</p>
<p>I'm thinking about self studying Calc AB or BC.</p>
<p>self-studying ap physics c mechanics and magnetism/electricity. balthasar, i'd recommend physics c, b covers waaaaayyyyy too much, and with c, you have the option of only taking HALF the test and getting the same credit as a FULL test!</p>
<p>edit: at michael, calc shouldn't be too hard to study for, as long as you get a good prep book or two</p>
<p>AP Calculus BC. Havent done ****e yet. Though I know alot of calc so doing it over winter break should be no problem.</p>
<p>Im doing Human Geo and ive only read like 4 chapters in my book, but over Xmas break its all about the geography.</p>
<p>i am only THINKING about selfstudying BC. i dunno</p>
<p>haithman: I'm currently taking the Physics B course. Do I have the option of taking C exam? And why is C easier, what parts are covered? Don't I need calc to do the C part?</p>
<p>I thought C is harder than B. Caluclus is involved in C, algebra in B.</p>
<p>I'm selfin' BCizzle (I'm in AB) and Psychology</p>
<p>Physics C is a foot wide but a mile deep</p>
<p>tongos, that's a great way to put that.</p>
<p>in previous years i self studied art history, european history, and us government. i was very poor at keeping up with studying; i usually didn't really get serious until the last month before the test, however i had some background knowledge on each of these subjects, so that helped a lot.</p>
<p>I'm self-studying Biology (1 chapter of Cliffs + corresponding chapters in Campbell txtbk/week)... and I'm thinking about self-studying Environmental Sci. but I'm not sure yet.</p>
<p>well physics c isn't too bad if you just take the mechanics portion, em is a B****! and yes you do need knowledge of calc to do c. with mechanics, there's vectors, kinematics, newton's lawys, work energy power, momentum, rotational motion, gravitation, and oscillations i believe. em has stuff like thermal physics, electric forces and fields, electric potential and capacitance, direct current circuits, magnetic forces and fields, em induction, and waves</p>
