<p>What would be the easiest test of which I can educate myself independently through online videos and textbooks and get credit for WITHOUT taking the AP Class? Thanks! </p>
<p>From easiest to hardest,</p>
<p>Psych
Human Geography
Environmental Sci</p>
<p>Psych undoubtedly. </p>
<p>Iâm already taking Psych. </p>
<p>It really depends on your previous experience with subjects. Apart from the three âeasyâ ones to self-study for, many others are realistic if youâve taken other classes. These are the exams Iâve self-studied for, or are currently self-studying for, using books, online courses, and through dual enrollment:</p>
<p>AP English Language (5): I self-studied it last year to skip a class at the CC where I dual enroll. If youâre a fairly good writer and self-disciplined enough to spend time on it, itâs not that difficult. I just memorized the rhetoric devices and did practice essays. </p>
<p>AP Calculus BC: I took it last year (dual enrollment) but will be taking the exam this year. If youâve taken a regular calculus course, I think itâs doable. If not, it will be difficultâŠ</p>
<p>AP US History: Also dual enrollment this yearâŠif youâve taken a regular US history course, or are very good at history, and are good a memorization, itâs definitely realistic. Make sure to spend time getting used to the essay format.</p>
<p>AP English Literature: Same as above, but replace history with literature. Very reading intensive, but I think itâs still a writing testâŠsoâŠ</p>
<p>AP Computer Science: Iâm doing it through Amplifyâs MOOC. I had a bit of previous programming experience with Python, but really, Amplify aims their course to beginners. I spend maybe 2h a week on it, and will start spending more getting used to the exam format.</p>
<p>AP Physics C: This one I donât recommend, although Iâm doing it, unless youâve had a very good grasp of physics and calculus. Iâm using prep books, online resources, and a textbook but itâs still tricky and stressful. </p>
<p>Other courses that Iâve heard are relatively easy to self-study, although it really depends on how good youâre at a given subject:
AP Gov, AP Econ, and AP Stat. I suppose the other history, science, or foreign language are all possible too. It really depends on how crazy you are. Good luck!</p>
<p>Comsci and art history are pretty easy</p>
<p>AP English Lit should be good if you already took English Language. Youâd have to prep for the essay only, as the multiple choice is just a comprehension test (if youâre good at SAT/ACT, this should be a breezeâŠplenty of time and only vocabulary might be a problem).</p>
<p>Psych too. Itâs basically one big vocabulary testâŠvery little critical thinking skills required.</p>
<p>@Andr01dâ Can you read my post? Based on above post, you seem like youâll be able to answer. thanks,</p>

<p>@kingkhan11â Since youâre already taking AP Psychology, have you thought about self-studying for it and replacing your current AP Psychology class with another AP course? Just a suggestion. </p>
<p>Anyways, self study APs for me:
AP World History: I took the class and got a 3. However, I think that one can self study for it because I actually think I would have done well or better self-studying without my APWH teacher. There are online teachers that uploads APWH sample questions, advice, essays, power points, and videos. And textbooks should help a lot as well. </p>
<p>AP Spanish: Native speaker. LOL. Any native speaker should just remember conjugations, certain spellings, and accents. He or she should as well practice their accent and tone. </p>
<p>AP Human Geography: I really have not learn anything with APHG teacher. So I will dedicate more time for myself with APHG. I think itâs possible to self study APHG with resources such as prep books. </p>
<p>Iâd say both Macroeconomics and Microeconomics can be studied for within a month. Microeconomics really only covers a few core concepts so if you can intuitively understand the concepts (as outlined in the AP Course Description) then you can really do well there. There are a lot of resources out there on YouTube that cover the concepts and the FRQs are very predictable. </p>
Hey, this might be a little late, but just wondering, how did you self-study for AP English Language? For the essays, Iâm just going to read sample essays. But Iâm not sure what to do about the mutliple choice part. What did you do? Thanks. (& multiple choice for AP Lit as well)
