r/APStatistics

i'm going to be a senior this year, i'd initially applied to take pre calc senior year but i'm reconsidering. should i take ap statistics instead? i'm not exceptionally strong at math (some As, mostly Bs, two Cs last year in junior year algebra 2 w/trig) and am planning on applying for pre-med tracks at universities soon. i could also ask to take both classes.

Hello! I’m and rising junior and schedules recently came out, but I’m in a bit of a dilemma. I am considering taking AP Statistics virtually this year, but I am trying to figure out how manageable it would actually be.

I already have a pretty full schedule of AP classes, and I am currently taking two virtual classes as well, one of which is AP Psychology. I would essentially be adding AP Statistics as another virtual class on top of everything else.

For anyone who has taken AP Stats, especially through self-study or an online/virtual program, how difficult is it to keep up with? How much time did you realistically spend on it each week? Would you consider it manageable alongside a full AP schedule, or does it require enough consistent work that adding it would probably be too much?

I am pretty comfortable with math, but I have never taken Statistics before, so I am mostly wondering about the workload and how realistic it is to learn the material mostly independently.

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has self-studied AP Stats or taken it online!

SIDE NOTE: I’d love to get an answer ASAP since schedule changes need to be made right about now :)

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!
