<p>I heard colleges don’t like it when we do the above…</p>

<p>I’m planning to self-study AP Psych, BUT my school offers it. </p>

<p>But I’m not that “lazy” kind, I just want to </p>

<p>1) Get the easy AP out of the way so I can make space for the other AP Social sciences
2) Assume that colleges aren’t going to view an easy course like AP psych high anyways, and do the above</p>

<p>But…do you think I’m making the right decision? </p>

<p>Thanks =)</p>

<p>I think that you are. Colleges shouldn’t view that negatively. I mean, let’s say you wanted to take AP Psych, but couldn’t because of schedule conflicts. You still want to take the exam and earn college credit, so you self-study, rather than take the class you physically couldn’t take.</p>

<p>In fact, I think colleges can view this positively (although if you’re a senior, they probably won’t notice that you’ve self-studied).</p>
