Self Studying APs?

<p>I’m kind of naive, but what does it mean to self study an AP? Im not really that interested in what it will look like to a college (i’m sure thats a bonus) but there are alot of interesting things I’d love to study and I have a fair amount of free time, so I was wondering what exactly this entails and if anyone has done it. Sorry if this is an obnoxious thread.</p>

<p>It’s basically buying a textbook or a Prep Book and studying for it at home without taking the class. But still registering for the exam and taking it.</p>

<p>I’m planning on doing it next year.</p>
