<p>Hi guys. So I go to a really little school with only 3 APs and I'm trying to self study some more, however I'm not exactly sure how that would work. If anyone who has done this before, would you mind explaining for me? Also, what are the easiest to self- study? If I am taking college statistics, will that prepare me for an AP stats test? Is it possible to self-study a science that requires labs? Does 2 years of world history prepare me for AP world?
Thanks guys, I have seen threads on this before, but none that answer all my questions.</p>
<p>Supposedly the easiest AP tests are Human Geography, Statistics, and Psychology.
I wouldn’t recommend doing a lab science, but other than that just do one or two that you’re interested in. I like math and I’ve had a year of calculus so I’m self-studying Calculus BC. </p>
<p>“If I am taking college statistics, will that prepare me for an AP stats test?”</p>
<p>Compare syllabi and find out. Also, take a couple old AP Stats tests for practice.</p>
<p>“Is it possible to self-study a science that requires labs?”</p>
<p>I wouldn’t recommend it, even if you could get the right answers. It’s better to take the class in college and get the lab experience, especially if you plan on a science-related major.</p>
<p>“Does 2 years of world history prepare me for AP world?”</p>
<p>Depends on the rigor of your high school. Again, compare syllabi and take a few practice World History AP tests to find out.</p>
<p>This question probably belongs in the other forum: [AP</a> Tests Preparation - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/ap-tests-preparation/]AP”>AP Test Preparation - College Confidential Forums)</p>
<p>if you’re self studying, you want to ask your guidance couselor how to go about this. generally, you register for the exam at another school (check collegeboard for details), but ask you GC just to be sure.</p>
<p>
most likely.</p>
<p>
yes. you don’t have to do the labs to study them.</p>
<p>
I would say probably, but it really depends on the course. check the AP world syllabus or get a prep book to see how much you know.</p>

<p>Thank you both.</p>

<p>I self studied for AP Psych last year. It was really easy.
I bought Barron’s AP Psychology and 5 Steps to a 5: AP Psych. It turns out I only really needed one or the other, but they both had practice tests in them and that was really helpful.
I basically just read through, took the practice tests, put all the terms down on flashcards (I have a flashcard app on my iPhone) and by the time test day rolled around I was all set. I scored a 5.</p>
<p>Let me know if you have any questions. I’d totally recommend AP Psych if you are new to self-studying. This year I am attempting to self-study AP Comp Sci and AP Calc AB.</p>
