<p>Have you ever self-studied for an AP class?</p>
<p>How did it go?</p>
<p>What worked? What didn't?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Yes; I've self-studied three tests so far.</p>
<p>AP Bio and AP Gov: 5
AP Chem: Expecting a 5</p>
<p>Try various different review books. Try to figure out which ones have the best coverage of each topic area. You can check them out from a library if you don't have money.</p>
<p>Take practice tests. Many people on CC are willing to trade released multiple choice questions; otherwise, find good ones in review books, buy them from the College Board, or look on the Internet.</p>
<p>It is important to learn the details, but don't sacrifice a good knowledge of all sections for knowing the details on one or two. Learn the relative percentages of questions from each subject on the test and try to determine the curve.</p>
<p>Start at least a month-and-a-half or two months ahead. It's ok to cram, though. As for study strategies, you can make flashcards, take notes - whatever you like.</p>
