Self-Studying

<p>How do you self-study a class in high school? What kinds of classes are offered? How do you officially get credit for it, where do you learn it from, is it very helpful long-term, etc?
Basically, what does it mean to self-study a class and what can I do to do it?</p>

<ol>
<li>Find out what your school’s policies are on this. For example, mine will allow you to take the final and get credit for any class you want. Some schools don’t allow this so make sure yours does before you do any unnecessary work. </li>
<li>Unless your school has something else set up for this purpose, you teach yourself the material using textbooks, online resources, etc. I self-studied for trig, physics, and calculus finals at my school without syllabi or anything…so it would definitely be helpful if you could locate syllabi for the classes you want to do!</li>
<li>It can be helpful long-term if you actually learn the material. If you crammed for the test, you won’t learn it.</li>
</ol>

<p>What classes are good to self-study?</p>

<p>Anybody know of some classes I could self-study manageably?</p>

<p>Something you’re interested in. If you’re not interested you’ll just wait for the weekend before you take the test and try to learn it all in those two days and then get a B like I did with the physics test. :(</p>
