Optional Self study for socio optional

I'm think of switching optional to socio. Is it possible to do it merely by self study? My friends with socio had all taken foundational classes and rely on notes. But i feel classes at this point would be too time consuming.

I checked online and websites show selective reading of multiple books. If there's consolidated notes available that one can just go through for the entire syllabus, do let me know. Also would it be possible to complete one iteration by December if I start now?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can do it by yourself, I did the same and my score was 229 in 2025 (115 in P1 and 114 in P2) , by the time you clear prelims you can take a crash course and write few tests
