should i take the AP Psychology test? (self-study)

<p>I've heard from the few people that I know who took it that the test was "very easy" and all common sense. Of course, these people got accepted into Ivy League colleges so obviously they think it's easy. As a Junior I'm currently only taking 3 AP tests and am considering taking AP Psych because
1. It's supposedly easy
2. I'm not taking a science AP and I love science</p>

<ul>
<li>Note: I would probably consider myself an "above average" student who is willing to work hard. I'm probably aiming for an SAT score of 2100, not 2400 like many others on here.</li>
</ul>

<p>So is it too late to start preparing for the test in May? I want to get a 5 on it. If I can't I don't want to bother.</p>

<p>Will studying it consume lots of time? </p>

<p>Will I be able to get a 5 simply by reading the Barron's study guide or do I need a real textbook? </p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Sure go right ahead. it doesn't seem too hard from what i've seen on this forum. barrons seems to do just fine w/o a text book</p>
