<p>what is the point to all these self-studying APs?
does it honestly look better on college applications?
do colleges really look at it?</p>
<p>how much does it affect the whole thing if you take the test but not the course?</p>
<p>I think the point is that there are people who think classes are a waste of time. With the right amount of self-motivation, many people can learn more efficiently on their own.</p>
<p>I am self studying AP Human Geography with these intentions:</p>
<p>-I am genuinely interested in the subject and my school doesn’t offer it
-It may look good on my app next fall; self-motivation and whatnot
-I learn better on my own</p>
<p>Some others may be doing it for those AP awards, too.</p>
