I have been teaching the A.P. classes in the Studio area since 1986 and I
have had only 3 people get under a 3. We have from 6 to 12 people a year
with this year being 9. I have never taken a class or workshop but I have
read the manual and worked it out myself. You can too unless your district
requires you to take the seminars and workshops. The school applies for the
class through ETS or the A.P. board. We did this a long time ago and it was
done at the district level. The first year is hard but it gets easier every
year.
