Hey everyone, I'm considering self-studying for some AP exams this year, but I'm not sure which subjects are easiest to manage on my own. What subjects would be best to self-study and what resources would be helpful?
Hi! It's awesome that you're interested in self-studying for AP exams. Based on my experience and what I've heard from others, some relatively easier AP subjects to self-study include AP Psychology, AP Human Geography, and AP Environmental Science. These subjects usually have straightforward content and accessible resources available.
For studying these subjects and other AP courses on your own, there are a few key resources I recommend you check out:
1. Textbooks: These are always the primary resource for self-study. You can find the recommended textbooks for each subject online or ask your teachers for suggestions.
2. Using AP course resources: The College Board offers resources and practice materials for every AP subject on their website. They have course descriptions, practice exams, and sample questions that can be really helpful.
3. Online resources: Websites like Khan Academy and CollegeVine offer free lessons and resources tailored for many AP courses. They can be great tools for practice and learning.
4. Study groups: If you know other students interested in self-studying the same subjects, consider forming a study group to keep each other accountable and help answer questions.
I hope this helps you decide which subjects to self-study! Good luck!
