AP Statistics is probably one of the easiest APs. It also is one of the most boring classes I have ever encountered. At this point in time I prefer AP Physics C E & M where I get mind-****ed every other test.

AP test is not "really easy".

Promise you. But it's not hard.

Just study and ask the teacher to explain after school. And review and review and review again.

That's an absolutely unnecessary amount of effort.

The hardest thing about this course was trying to remember the format for the inputs you place into the calculator functions. And guess what? There's a program out there for graphing calculators that tells you the format for those functions!

Agreed. Honestly, I think most of the trouble that people have with this class comes from the fact that they're trying to memorize the formulas/definitions without really understanding what they're memorizing. If you sit down for fifteen minutes and actually attempt to comprehend what's going on, it becomes remarkably easy.

The AP Test isn't bad at all since they give you all the formulas you need to know.

If you know how to use them, and know how to plug numbers in on your calculator, you'll be fine. I got a 4 even though my school didn't run AP Stats and I just took a half semester regular Stats course. I reviewed for maybe a week before the test date and I still did reasonably well, given I never learned some of the stuff that was on the test.

I just finished the first semester of AP Stats... and it was the easiest thing of my life... though there were a lot of kids in my class who just don't get it... I don't get how they don't get it... It's so freaking easy.

AP Stat is a joke. Then again, my teacher is literally a genius, so that may have something to do with it.
