<p>I will be a junior next year and will only be taking two APs in school (APUSH and AP Lang).. what would you suggest I self study to get ahead? (I already took APES and AP Euro...)
*Oh and what are you thoughts on taking the ap psych test....Im taking the regular course during the year...</p>
<p>Are those the only two AP courses available to you? I looked at your other thread, and you seem to be spending 3+ hours a day on ECs, so don’t take more AP courses unless you are absolutely sure you can handle it.</p>
<p>Taking the AP Psych test without taking the corresponding course would require significant self study, so again, make sure you have enough time to get good grades… (i’m assuming you want to get into competitive colleges…)</p>
<p>Actually, my daughter had only one semester of AP Psych but bought the review book for the exam and got a 5 on the AP Psych exam. I was curious and read the review guide, too – I thought it was interesting and pretty easy to integrate the information. (Not like trying to self-study chemistry). So give it a try. I think my d. only spent a couple of hours prep – however long it took her to read through the study guide and maybe do the practice exam. In hindsight I wish my son had known it was so easy – he probably could have racked up another AP score as well, as he had a full year of non-AP psych at his high school. So I think you will be fine to go for the AP exam at the end – do buy a review book.</p>
