AP General Help and Prerequisites

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>Hello, I am looking for an organized table/data of recommended prerequisites for various or all AP Exams, as well as general information. The AP website provides a hodgepodge of information but doesn’t exactly go into detail about the data for each exam.</p>

<p>Furthermore, is there a “blue book” of AP Exams? Which preparation books are the best for AP Exams? Are there any detailed, organized reviews for books on this website?</p>

<p>Which AP Exams are generally considered “easiest” and “hardest?” I mean not including teachers, but the exam itself, including those with the lowest or highest passing rates, or those you personally found to be best.</p>

<p>Is there any website I can find more information about AP Exams? The official website barely provides anything in general about all the exams.</p>

<p>Finally, this may seem silly, but is it possible to take AP Music Theory without playing an instrument, as in using self-study and flash cards?</p>

<p>My high school website doesn’t provide this info (it’s not academic-oriented) so if anyone could provide a link to their high school website, it would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>bump10char, I only currently need the answer to the last question, thank you.</p>

<p>My HS website doesn’t provide much on AP exams, other than school policies and how to pay for them and stuff…</p>

<p>Since there are so many AP exams, there’s not really a “blue book” of AP exams. Princeton Review seems alright, I dislike Kaplan’s AP practice tests though.</p>

<p>Easy/hard AP exams are too subjective. For example, I thought Calculus BC was far easier than AP Literature since I’m more of a math person.</p>

<p>Every year the CB publishes an “AP Report to the Nation” with data from each exam, including what percentage scored 1-5, and data by state. More information is here:

<p>& I don’t think you need to know an instrument to do well on AP Music Theory.</p>
