<p>I want to get some of my senior year APs out of the way as much as I can before senior year itself. What would be the best way to self study for </p>
<p>-AP Comparative Government
-AP US Government
-AP Physics C: Mechanics
-AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism
-AP English Literature
-AP Statistics</p>
<p>on my own?</p>
<p>Why not get college essays and applications out of the way in August? A summer program perhaps? I don’t know about you, but I would forget much of the material by May if I studied over the summer. However, if you are all set on your SATs, subject tests and college stuff, then study the way you would over the course of the year. Get review books, watch lectures and do practice questions. There are plenty of materials out there.</p>
<p>AP Physics C: Barron’s book, try to get a college textbook for your school/community college, and watch these lectures, which are really excellent:</p>
<p>[Free</a> Online Course Materials | OCW Scholar | MIT OpenCourseWare](<a href=“http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/ocw-scholar/]Free”>OCW Scholar Courses | MIT OpenCourseWare | Free Online Course Materials)</p>
<p>Summer self-study isn’t that great of an idea unless you’re going to use the material during the school year… I self-studied Calc BC in the summer and I’m finding that I don’t remember very much right now. I agree that college essays/apps would be better to focus on.</p>
<p>-AP Comparative Government
Use Ethel Wood’s APCG review book, has everything you’ll need to know.</p>
<p>-AP US Government
Use Barron’s APUSG review book, but focus and perhaps do some outside reading like on Wikipedia or asking a teacher since the APUSG test has a lot less 5’s than one would think.</p>
<p>-AP Physics
Barron’s review books, plus the link conquerer7 provided. I’d also suggest:
[Khan</a> Academy](<a href=“Khan Academy | Free Online Courses, Lessons & Practice”>Khan Academy | Free Online Courses, Lessons & Practice)
Great videos for basically anything math related (so Physics, Chemistry, Calculus, etc.)</p>
<p>-AP Statistics
As with literature, no idea on review books. But use:
[Khan</a> Academy](<a href=“Khan Academy | Free Online Courses, Lessons & Practice”>Khan Academy | Free Online Courses, Lessons & Practice)
Again, great videos on math stuff.</p>
