[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do students ever take an AP exam for which they have never had a class, but just try to self study? For example, if they have not had a psychology class, but do a lot of self study, is it realistic to think that they could score well on the Psych AP exam?[/quote]

Dunno if I posted already, but I not only did not take the class, but studied for the wrong exam in 10th grade (forgot what I signed up for). I thought I was doing World History, but it was European. Still got a 4.  Took International Government cold as as senior, and got a 5. I was freakishly well-read, though, and far too ADHD to have been able to replicate this in something that required the discipline to sit down and work through the exercises in order to really understand the subject (Music Theory, Calculus, Physics, etc.)

I just googled for free AP psych multiple choice questions and scored 5/6, because I forgot which drug category was for schizophrenics. Thanks for your help, Oliver Sacks. Anyway, that one probably isn't too hard to tackle for a bright student who reads through the material.[/quote]
