<p>A friend and I are planning on self-teaching ourselves AP Micro and Macro economics this year since the courses are not running at our high school due to low enrollment. Can anyone suggest review materials like which review book is best for doing so and resources like websites to go off of? We're using the textbooks our business department has and are relying on information from my stepdad who was an Econ major, but we think we need more to study from.</p>
<p>I don’t know how much this helps, but my friends both self-studied for AP Macro and got a 5, they both said it involves a lot of memorization.</p>
<p>I have a question for you, if you can answer: I’m self-studying for either AP Comparative Government, AP Human Geography, or AP Psychology. Thing is, I think they offer it at my school, I just want to get these classes over with as a sophomore. Is it possible I can still get credit for self-stuyding? Also, which one would you choose to self-study for?</p>
<p>The credit depends on your school. I think all three of them are doable. APHUG is going to be easier than the others, and gov and psych involve a lot of memorization</p>
<p>Chris1998, you can still get college credit for self studying if you get a 3 or better(well 3’s for many schools, 4 for most schools, and 5’s for the best schools), it just won’t count as a class you took. With that in mind it’s really risk-free because if you do badly it doesn’t affect your transcript, although AP scores do play a small role in admissions. Getting to your case though, I’ve read about a lot of people getting 5’s on AP Psych when self-teaching, while I haven’t as much with your other 2 choices. However, there is always copious review material in review books and websites on any AP so id invest some time researching, and asking around more on this site. Wish I had more to offer. Good luck!</p>
<p>I highly recommend completing the released FRQs from past AP exams. There are also a few released MCs as well. I crammed by completing FRQs and MCs. This bumped me up from probable 3s or 4s to 5s on both. My AP Econ teacher recommended 5 Steps to a 5 by Eric Dodge as a study book. Make sure to start studying early and often. You don’t want to fall behind.</p>
