Hi everyone,

So, long story short, I’m in 10th grade at my school and taking regular American government. My teacher wanted me to switch out of the regular class and into AP U.S. government class, but my schedule couldn’t be switched around, so I’m staying in the regular class. I asked him about self-studying a class and he strongly advised against it, saying that I could “probably do it as a junior or senior, but not as a sophomore.”

So, my question is: Should I try to self-study? Is it too late in the semester?

If you’ve self-studied AP U.S. government, can you give me a good suggestion about a textbook and review book to use?

I’d kind of like to start studying now if I decide to do it.

Thanks in advance for your help!!
