Self Studying for 2011, anyone?

<p>Self-studying is ridic. I don’t know how you guys pull it off with school in the midst of things. Wish y’all the best of luck.</p>

22

<p>@spongegar: From looking at the table of contents, Early Transcendental Functions is only sufficient for Calc AB. Look for something like “Calculus of a Single Variable” if you want to go through Calc BC as well.</p>

<p>You don’t need to take both Mechanics and E&M. Most colleges will give you some credit for just mechanics. (MIT requires both Physics C tests to get out of freshman-level mechanics, though. Which is kind of odd…)</p>

23

<p>^^ When do you plan to write the exam?</p>

24

<p>May 2011. (When else?)</p>

25

<p>You said something about starting Hubbard’s book in your senior year, so…</p>

<p>By the way, I’m a sophomore.</p>

26

<p>Rising junior.</p>

<p>Hopefully, I can finish Spivak first semester and Hubbard the second semester, but junior year is going to be really busy, especially with studying for AIME, USAMO, and USPhO…</p>

27

<p>wow… I’m just doing Music theory and art history and I’m slowly dieing.</p>

28

<p>This year I’m self-studying AP Envi Sci, AP Comp Gov, and AP Art History. I was considering AP Calc AB but I’m taking BC senior year so there truthfully is no point…</p>

29

<p>I’m self studying AP Bio, AP Envi Sci, AP Stats, AP Psych (maybe), AP Human Geo (maybe) and AP Comp Sci A (maybe).</p>

30

<p>I could never self-study Calc or Physics.</p>

<p>Self-studying Stats, possibly one of the two 'economics.</p>

31

<p>

</p>

<p>Do people actually do that? They’re kind of brave.</p>

32

<p>^I’m self-studying Calc BC and Physics C, and I don’t think I’m particularly brave. I’m just fairly decent at math. :/</p>

<p>(I self-studied Physics B last year as well.)</p>

33

<p>That’s understandable.</p>

34

<p>Self-studying Psychology and Microeconomics.</p>

35

<p>I hear that Psychology is the easiest exam, apparently all you have to do is memorize the Barron’s book, and its an automatic 5. I should do it just for to look good on the application.</p>

<p>I looked through the textbook for Physics C (Mechanics); it doesn’t look too hard. There’s a little calculus which is overlapped by the Calculus BC I’m taking. 2 in 1 (sort of).</p>
