<p>In order to get a 5 on European History and Art History, how long does one need to self-study prior to the AP exam? Would January onward suffice, or is it better to start in the summer?</p>
<p>I think that beginning in January would suffice. I suggest that you devote about one hour per week towards your self-studies for the first couple of months, and then determine how much more information you need to recollect for the test. Upon determining that, you may need to alternate your time frame.</p>
<p>Thanks, Wartsandall!</p>
