<p>I have the AP Psychology course at my school but its only for seniors and I'm a sophomore. Would it make any sense to just self-study? I also am shooting for AP Scholar so that is one factor/reason for my decision. Also, how practical is it to self-study AP Environmental Science and AP Microeconomics. I have APES at my school which I can take as a course but due to scheduling conflicts I can't take it and AP Microeconomics I don't have as a course at all at my school. Are there any tips to self-studying? What did you do to self study and what were your methods/routines? Prep books or textbooks? When should I begin self-studying? Any comments/suggestions will help (only helpful answers please). Will taking APUSH conflict with me self-studying?</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat right now. I’m also a sophomore, and Im also planning to take every one of those classes this summer, in addition to Macroeconomics, Music theory, Statistics, and Art History. I’ve been looking at local colleges that offer summer courses, but I’ll probably only end up taking a course in the economics at the college. Get the prep books, get textbooks, you can do it, just make sure to budget your time well.</p>
<p>For me the biggest problem right now is finding textbooks. Look at what your school does for those classes. See if you can get a curriculum from the teachers that teach the classes, notes from students who took the classes, and recommendations of textbooks from the same teachers.</p>
<p>Take it your senior year if you can for Psych. Or see if you can enroll in the course, the GCs may make exceptions. It is relatively easy to self study, but if you have the course available, why not take it and wait it out? The Youtube channel ACDC Leadership is FANTASTIC if studying any sort of Macroeconomics, and I learned more from it than my actual teacher. For APES, I reccoemend actually getting a textbook. All the review guides I looked at were general and did not provide enough specific examples or all the content as a textbook or an actual course would. While it is also quite easy to self study, the course complements it quite nicely that you will get more out of it if you take the course rather than just the test.</p>
<p>For APES, I used the book “Environment the Science Behind the Story Ap Edition” although I am sure htere are other textbooks out there that would be equally as good.</p>
<p>Don’t self study AP physiology. Try to self study AP macro and AP micro (they are both very similar) at the same time. If you’ve already had an advanced or AP bio and chem course, self study AP envrio also. If you already have a course load that involves 3+ AP courses, I’d advise you to pick between micro + macro or AP envrio.</p>
<p>Tips for self studying: schedule time in advance for when to study, don’t procrastinate, and take lots of practice AP exams in the months leading up to the exam. </p>
<p>If you have teachers that teach the course in your school, ask them for a copy of their syllabus. Then make sure you cover everything in the syllabus. </p>
<p>^^^There’s no such thing as AP Physiology. It’s AP Psychology…</p>
<p>The point of Ap is to get college credit.unless u get ap scholar in 11th grade, it doesn’t matter. AP scores do not matter in college apps.</p>
