<p>Hello, I'm new to the CC forums, but I've been lurking for some time now. After seeing all of the good advice that's been given here, I figured I'd come here with my own problem.</p>
<p>To start off, let me provide a bit of background information about myself. I'm currently second in my class, and one of those stubborn kinds of people that hate to admit defeat. However, the AP program at my school is severely lacking. I'm a senior this year, and I took my first three AP tests last year. Sadly I didn't know not only about the self-study program ahead of time, but also of the poor education I was going to get in my AP classes. I took AP English Language and received a four, APUSH and received a two, and Stats and received a two. I don't want to make that same mistake this year. </p>
<p>This year I'm finishing up my AP Studio Art portfolio, as well as taking AP Econ (Micro), AP Calc AB, and AP Physics B. I'm really worried about my time this school year, and want to do well on all my tests. Would it also be crazy of me to throw in a self-study of Computer Science and Macroeconomics as well as trying to self-study and retake my Stats and APUSH, if possible?</p>
<p>I hate to overload myself, but it's frustrating having those low test scores on my record. I'm just afraid that it'll be too much and come May I'll have a breakdown. If you guys think it is possible though, does anyone have advice on how I should manage my time? I think I've lost the ability of relaxation, I feel like I should always be studying.. </p>
<p>Thanks again for your help.</p>
