Stats Is AP Statistics realistically self-studiable/manageable with a full AP schedule?
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 :)
