<p>Alright so i'm a "freshman in high school" in american terms but a 3rd year student in my school.
I wanted to take these APs throughout high school.
I am self studying now for some of these and have a little over an year.</p>
<p>AP Calculus AB(next year?)
AP Physics BC(next year)
Comp Science A and BC(next year)
Economics (Micro and macro)(next year)
AP Chemistry
AP Biology
AP Stats</p>
<p>Our school only offers and holds classes for stats, bio, chem, physics and calculus and i would want to take the other exams externally at the AP centers.</p>
<p>is this advisable?</p>
<p>Will it help me in college admissions of the ad officers know that i took the APs without a course in them and i got at least a 4(although obviously, i am aiming for a 5 in everything), AND i took it much earlier than others in my school.</p>
<p>I’m not sure I understand which classes you’re taking during which year, but I have a few comments to make.</p>
<p>There’s only AP Physics B and AP Physics C, no BC. Are you taking the one with or without calculus. If you haven’t taken a previous physics course, I recommend you take B (with algebra). </p>
<p>Are you taking both AP Computer Science A and AB the same year? That’s sort of pointless, since everything covered in A is also covered in AB. If you were planning on taking both, just take AB.</p>
<p>Are you taking Chemistry and Biology the same year? It might be smart to spread those out. Take Chemistry first, since you need some Chemistry knowledge during the first unit of Biology. It would be fine to take them concurrently, but the chemistry you need for biology comes later on in the year, and early in the year during biology. That sounds sort of confusing.</p>
<p>oh…that makes things clearer. lol. i sound like an idiot.
i knew that it was physics b and c</p>
<p>Thanks, any more suggestions? books? I know PR and Barron’s would be a typical reply. But anything more textbook-like which would explain everything well, and could be used WITH the pr and barron’s books?</p>
<p>I don’t just want to take the test but i want to understand everything i learn if not it’ll just cause more problems. </p>
<p>For physics im using young and geller and a mcgraw hill review book to go with it, chem im using chemistry the central science(brown), for comp science im using the internet, and for econs im using internet AND review books. For calculus im finishing precalc first(sullivan) and im not sure of the textbook to use, but i hear that review books are enough(Barron’s calculus the easy way).</p>
<p>to utkarshmn:
A thought about your comp science, although not knowing where you come from and what experience you’ve had, I can’t say much. If you just want to learn the subject of Comp Science, or the language of Java, certainly you won’t need a book. But if you’re going for the AP EXAM, I recommend you get a prep book, Barron’s for the best, or find material online that is exclusively for the exam preparation – unless you’re very experienced with coding so that the AP problems are already a piece of cake for you.</p>
