Self Studying

<p>I plan on self studying AP Statistics, how does one go about that?
I have a textbook for it, and I basically taught myself Precalc by going through the book and taking notes. Is it similar to that?</p>

<p>Go through, take notes. Do practice problems.</p>

<p>Get an AP review book (maybe even a couple) and go through them as well.</p>

<p>Here’s some advice: college-level textbooks often go above what you need for the AP exam, so be sure to cross-reference it with the College Board syllabus.</p>

<p>I’m also self-studying Stats; I’ve already gone through a textbook, and I’m using Barrons to get me the rest of the way.</p>

<p>This is the book I currently have
[Amazon.com:</a> Statistics (10th Edition) (9780131497559): James T. McClave, Terry Sincich: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Statistics-10th-James-T-McClave/dp/0131497553]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Statistics-10th-James-T-McClave/dp/0131497553)</p>

<p>Around how long do you think it would take to self study it?
And when I finish, I should take the AP exam, correct?
Can you take those any time or at a specific day?</p>

<p>Bump. :o</p>

<p>Well I don’t really know your study habits, but I’d say start studying by December at least. That gives you about 5 months of cushion, and by then you’ll know exactly how much time you can devote to it. Cramming might work, but it’s ridiculously stressful and you’ll hate it.</p>

<p>Yup, you need to take the exam (and pass) to receive any credit.</p>

<p>The AP Statistics exam is taken on a specific time on a specific day. You can check on their website; I think it falls on the same day every year. This applies to all AP subjects.</p>
