Thanks for the comment on self-studying for AP tests. Yes, College Board of course has the cynic's reason for encouraging students to do that, but it genuinely tries to make it easier for students whose schools don't offer a particular course, homeschoolers, and self-studiers of all kinds to have access to the AP tests. That's a big contrast with the policy of the IB program.
