<p>IMO, it’s the pressure that makes it easy. Once you take away the pressure, a lot of people don’t have the discipline to self-study. </p>
<p>I don’t know if there are statistics out there, but I’m pretty sure there aren’t many self-studiers out there. It’s not only because many people don’t have the discipline to self-study, but also because many people don’t have the ability to. Many people can’t simply pick up a study guide and understand/memorize the material. Yes, that may be hard to believe for the people who self-studied 20 AP’s, but it’s true.</p>
