<p>This is a valid reason that crossed my mind when writing my post, but I dismissed it. Students who self-study tend to achieve highly and will apply to top colleges. These colleges often do not give credit for psychology, instead either disregarding the exam or using it for placement. I will admit that my post was more directed toward kids who self-study in order to reach National or State AP Scholar.</p>

<p>Don’t be ridiculous. One cannot learn psychology in one week, even at the AP / freshman level. This is especially true when you consider that the student has other exams to study for.</p>
<p>I understand the reasoning behind self-studying; I merely disagree with some of it.</p>
