<p>Ok here goes</p>
<p>I am going to self study Macro and Micro Econ and Humna geography . </p>
<p>(and BC calc)</p>
<p>what is the BEST study guide --one that I will ENTIRELY rely on ---for those tests?</p>
<p>barrons?</p>
<p>Economics = PR
Human Geo. = Barrons
BC Calc= dont know</p>
<p>I am pretty sure of the books. I did alot of research on the books and the amazon ratings show an overwhelming satisfaction on these books. btw, I am self studying Maco, Micro, and Human Geo. We're on the same boat dude! Good Luck!</p>
<p>I hear Arco is good for Calc. I'm doing the same thing as you, self study macro and micro, but not human geo. I'm taking a class for AB calc, but hopefully learning the BC portion on my own so I can take the BC exam.</p>
<p>calc BC i took it and barrons is good.</p>
<p>econ use PR and barrons</p>
<p>When you say self-study are you studying the textbook or just the review notes and things? I might self-study, but I don't exactly understand.</p>
<p>why would you guys want to self study more ap classes?</p>
<p>AP awards.</p>
<p>I self studied two last year and I'm going to do one (or two for back-up) so I can be a National AP Scholar next year. Oh, and I got AP Scholar sophomore year :).</p>
<p>I think people mainly self-study because they have a scheduling conflict like not enough spaces open to take many A.P. classes. Also I am going to do that so then I can avoid some of the work and just learn the things. Like instead of doing essays in some classes you just learn the material.</p>
<p>i actually want to get the "credit" for it haha
..silly me</p>
<p>PLUS, i wanna show adcoms what i'm capable of</p>
<p>Yeah, you are silly.</p>
<p>I was actually planning on self studying Environmental Science because it's my intended field of interest, and then - according to my planned junior year schedule - I only needed to self study one more, so I did Bio. But now I have a scheduling conflict for next year, and I have to self study another exam.</p>
<p>I'm banking on credit, too, though. It's just that most schools don't give credit for exams like Enviro, and Calc AB doesn't count if you take Calc BC anyway (etc, etc).</p>
<p>y am i silly?
i self studied comparative gov and env. science and got 4s on them
(close to getting credit >_<.wharton accepts 5s only argh!)</p>
<p>but econ ..almost every university accepts as credit</p>
<p>I was being sarcastic. I guess the italics weren't obvious enough :P.</p>
<p>oh</p>
<p>:P
haha</p>
<p>i wonder why others do it, too.<br>
i took 8 tests May of this year, at first to be a nat'l scholar (silly me...jumping on the band-wagon), but now that I think of it, if you were going to a state school (maybe for me), opting out of those classes and taking the credit could really shave a year of college off of your life. perhaps graduate in 3 yrs. like as of now, i calculated that i could take credit for 1/3 of the graduation requirement for UW-Madison.</p>
