<li>All throughout the school year, twelve hours every week, though for how much a day varied.</li>
<li>An old textbook the school provided, and some popular review book. I think it was the first on an Amazon search.</li>
</ol>

<p>I don’t know, I really wanted to learn the material, I was more interested in that than getting a good grade on the test. Taking the test was more of a means to getting the department head to loan me the textbook.</p>

<p>If you’re self-studying for the test grade, then I guess you can probably reasonably fit in over the course of four months?</p>

<p>i took the class, with a teacher that taught me nothing. 2 days after the taking the SAT, I took the exam and got a 4.</p>

<p>Outta self interest, I’m self-studying it myself this year.</p>

<ol>
<li>What was your score? Don’t know yet.</li>
<li>Approximately how many months/weeks did you study for? And how many hours per day?
Gonna start ‘passively’ reading/studying until January, where I’ll fix myself to an hour a day. </li>
<li>What books did you use? Ethel Wood’s AP Comparative Gov’t study guide… people most recommend it, and looking through it, it’s simple but seems well written.</li>

<p>Thanks guys! So, I suppose that it is not too intensive to study like crazy, but a couple months beforehand is recommended? :)</p>
