Hello, I am wondering how come lots people talk about AP bio, chem, physics, calculus, but no one talk about AP Statistic? Is it too easy? too hard? or just a waste of time to take it?

I want to self study AP Statistic next year, is it a good idea? What study book should I use? Thanks.

Tons of people talk about AP Stats on this forum. Just look around.

By the way, it's AP Statistics, not Statistic. You are studying more than one statistic. :p

i think more people talk about phys, chem, bio because more people take those compared to stat.. and because there are SAT IIs for the subjects, makin it seem like there are a lot more topics.

if you have a decent grasp at math and a decent grasp at using a TI 83.. you can easily self study it. it's really not that hard of a subject.

go for it

Stats is mad easy but also not really interesting at that level from a theoretical point of view. It's not really proper maths as taught in AP.
