<p>Yeah, I would definitely not do that. Self-study for a different AP exam. I self-studied for World History AP when I was in high school. I had never taken it before and I got a 5 b/c I worked methodically through the book w/ a tutor. This was really helpful in college because it helped me get an AP Distinguished Scholar award and get a ton of credit at Stanford - even though they don’t give you that much credit! In any case, a tutor can help you self-study in a class you have never taken before. I started ignitiontutoring.com to do this - we have a lot of AP tutors from Stanford who got 5s when they took the test and are really good at helping current AP students to have the same kind of success.</p>
