I guess you can read the basics and get a grasp for the concepts but I thought I knew it all before taking the class and the truth is they really do go more indepth. Then again you took AP Stats in High School and I took Stats at a major University so I expect there is a difference in expectations between a high school student and a college student. I realize that AP classes give you partial college credit and I took several but the reality is most colleges won't give a student who took AP classes full credit for taking a college level course.

The reason is because as good as AP classes are they just aren't as in depth as at a real university.
