Self-Study... HOW!?

<p>I have seen many a thread talking about self-studying different AP courses. I have just one question: How?! Do you do it online? Do you go to your GC? I am at an IB school but want to take Psycology and possibly something else.</p>

<p>Yeah, just talk to your counselor or whatever other administrative official would be able to grant you permission to sign up for additional tests. Then buy a prep-book/textbook and read it. If you want to take an online course in the subject, that’s up to you; choose however you want to study and learn the material. </p>

<p>In the case of ap psychology, all you really need is a good prep-book to successfully self-study.</p>

<p>You take a review book and inhale it. Basically.</p>

<p>lol, what shizzle said^</p>

<p>but really, it’s not too outrageous of a concept if you put your mind to it and really study</p>

<p>With some APs, it’s as simple as getting a review book and reading it. Others you have to work in a textbook and review book and focus a lot on it, as if you had a class. In the case of psych, your review book is probably enough.</p>

<p>You buy a review book/textbook for the AP test you want to take, get your school to order the APs you are interested in, and then take the test.</p>

<p>As everybody else said, it depends on what you want to do. One of my friends (who took the Physics C: Mechanics exam) took physics with calculus I at the local community college and studied the hell out of his textbook. He did a bunch of FRQs as well. Another friend self-studied psychology by memorizing the Barron’s review book. I plan on self-studying comparative government and will probably go down the review-book lane. If I have a schedule conflict my senior year, I might have to self-study chemistry, which I would do by completing homework problems in the textbook.</p>

<p>Check this thread before you self study. I hope it helps you. Dont self study if you already have a overload time schedule. </p>
