<p>here here love math also...and tongos took the best approach because learning math in a classroom does indeed suck.</p>
<p>im confident that i'll make the USAMO this year, i cant make any promises.</p>
<p>I have to see how things play out.</p>
<p>How about self studying English Literature? I'm in the Eng. Comp & Language course, and was wondering if i should take the other exam 2.</p>
<p>Self-studying multivariable calculus? How is that useful w/o an AP exam? I don't think there's a way to get credit by self-studying it so we'll have to inevitably end up reviewing in a multivariable calc course. I may be wrong, however.</p>
<p>AP Stats and AP Psych are generally regarded as the easiest APs to self-study. AP English, however, is regarded as one of the hardest APs to self-study.</p>
<p>Thanks I won't do that then! Maybe I'll try Psych.</p>
<p>Well, I wouldn't advise you to take my advice too seriously. I'm just relying on anecdotal evidence from several others - no stone hard facts. English literature is hard if you haven't read a lot of literature - but if you've spent your lifetime reading literature, then it may be one of the easiest APs. Analyzing literature is a skill that develops over time.</p>
<p>Also, I wouldn't advise one to self-study just for the sake of self-studying. You must at least have some passion into the subject that you're trying to self-study.</p>
<p>Thanks, yea my school hardly offers any AP's, so I thought I should try to prove I'm still interested in learning the subjects. I'll take a look at the exams and see which ones would suit me best :). Thanks.</p>
<p>anyone here self studying ap english or ap comp sci if so what books are you using?</p>
<p>I'm taking ap english with a class, but so far we arent preparing much yet- just writing a lot of essays. so i'll probably buy a book 2.</p>
<p>self-study AP Comp Sci AB</p>
<p>using whatever I can get my hands on...</p>
<p>USACO training helps out

is a really good site if you want to self study human geo. I think it follows along with the book ryan 2288 reccomended. I'm thinking about self-studying geo right now, and this site has made me think i could do it. It's basically an entire really intense class on one site.</p>
<p>Would it be difficult to self-study Calculus BC starting now? The last class I have taken was pre-calculus, but I have studied some calculus since then (not nearly as much is on the BC exam). I have the Barron's AP Calculus book, and it seems to have all the topics covered in the BC exam. I also have "Single Variable Calculus" by Hughes-Hallett. Is anyone familiar with this?</p>
<p>I haven't taken math since the summer. I was supposed to take Calculus I (at a community college) in the fall, but it was full, and my HS doesn't let juniors take calculus for some reason. Right now I am Calculus I at a community college, and the syllabus corresponds for the most part to the AB Calc. exam. Having this in mind, how hard would it be to study for the BC exam starting now (assuming I can find a school to take it at)?</p>
<p>Alex, if you're really committed, you can do it.</p>
<p>It'll definitely require some serious work, but it's doable.</p>
<p>BC calc is really only AB calc plus a couple of chapters (though if your class skips chapters, I would recommend going back to them).</p>
<p>i've just started self studying U.S. government and politics and i was wondering if anyone would recomend a text book or website to go along with the Barron study book.</p>
