<p>I’m currently a university student who took several AP courses while back in high school. I remember that I really enjoyed some of the courses that I took, in particular AP US History and AP Calculus. Since it’s summer and I have a bit of free time to do things that I want, I was thinking of spending some time going back and studying some of these AP subjects just for fun to refresh what I learned.</p>
<p>Would someone be able to help me? I would really appreciate it!</p>
<p>(Also, have any of you as parents ever had your kids ask you for homework? I’m curious!)</p>
<p>How is it that you have the free time and energy to study anything in the summer? Aren’t you exhausted after juggling two or three summer jobs?</p>
<p>Gotta ask: Why AP materials? Why not some other subjects? Have you checked out what is available through Coursera and the other MOOC organizations?</p>
<p>I’m just doing one summer job, and in my free time I like studying and learning about new things anyway. It’s energy well spent :-)</p>
<p>I thought about AP materials because they’re fairly standardized courses and were at the level of a freshman or sophomore going into college taking general electives. The AP courses I had in high school gave a very broad overview of the subject with enough details to make it interesting and challenging.</p>
<p>I guess I should have mentioned it in the first post, but would anyone still have AP materials from when their sons/daughters took AP courses? I wouldn’t mind doing homework as part of my summer study plan.</p>
<p>If you want to, do it. I don’t understand why you’re asking… </p>
<p>I’m sure there’s open courseware sites that’ll let you explore whatever classes you want. I’m taking several coursera courses for fun and teaching myself biostats through JHSPH open courses.</p>
<p>you should spend your time volunteering in your local community. Not only will it be a better resume-booster, but its a chance to help your fellow human beings (as opposed to spending time locked in your room refreshing high school material).</p>
<p>I do want to do it, I just don’t know where to start with some of it. And asking for help from someone means that there might be more accountability. I’m usually good at thinking of ideas but bad at following them through, so perhaps some lack of self-discipline in getting it all done is one reason.</p>
<p>I’m not really sure why you’re so hung up on APs but if you buy something like an AP test book they usually come with a schedule of when you should be doing x, y, or z.</p>
