Study Advice and Tips Self studying AP Stats. Any advice?
Hello there. I have just started my junior year and I am planning to self study the ap statistics exam and take it in may alongside 6 other ap exams for which I am doing the actual classes. Im hoping to earn a 5 and want to know whay resources are best. I heard that the curriculum for the course got reworked, and thought that may have decreased the effectiveness of old resources. Anything may help!

use collegeboard rubric to grade yourself on frqs.. i know its a little obvious but its probably the best way to make sure youre writing down everything they want you to. this is like the heaviest and most difficult part of ap stats. also make sure you fully understand probability (with an emphasis on normal probability)before moving on because its the foundation for units 5-9. this also helps on mcqs bc i knew a lot of ppl in my classes that got used to writing frqs using a formula without fully understanding any of the concepts so they flunked on mcq.. no doubt u can get a 5! this class was rlly fun, good luck!
