Can I take regular world history, and basically self-study for the AP exam? I would take the AP class, but due to some complications I can’t. This makes sense, right? All sophomores have to take regular world history/WHAP anyways. I would use the regular textbook, Barrons (maybe some other books if I feel like I need it), the GetAFive site (is it good?), and I would be in our school’s study group page and kept up-to-date with the people who were taking it.

My schedule would be:
Pre-Cal
Wind Ensemble
French 2
World History
English 2A (Honors)
AP Biology
(AP Psych - self-study)

Is it worth it? Or should I just ride this year easy? Will regular world history somehow mess me up for the AP Exam? (I don’t know what I’m talking about LOL.)
