Self-studying for AP Environmental advice?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Hey!</p>

<p>First of all, is it recommended that a sophomore (which I will be this upcoming year) self study for the AP Environmental Science test? And is it even possible for a sophomore to take that AP Test (since the course is seniors only at my school)? </p>

<p>And then, for those of you that self-studied for it and got a 5 (or 4), would you mind sharing some wealth with me?
How much time did you put in it? How many months/hours per week on average?
What books/resources did you use?
How did you study? What did you use primarily?
Any other advice?</p>

<p>Thank you so much, I appreciate it!</p>

<p>Environmental Science is known to be one of the easier AP classes. You can definitely take the test when you’re a sophomore. If you think you can handle studying it while thaking your regular classes then by all means go ahead.</p>

<p>I self-studied AP Environmental Science as a sophomore and got a 5. I used mainly Earth as a Living Planet and Princeton Review. I went through most of the textbook chapters and took notes, making sure I knew all of the vocabulary I read through.</p>

<p>Look for the “Smarty Pants Guide.” I used that for only two days, skipped an essay, and got a 4.</p>
