Applying to College

<p>How's it going mates,</p>

<p>Something that's seriously been on my mind as of the recent school year is taking and self studying for AP tests without taking the classes for them persay.</p>

<p>What I mean to say is, is it worth it? Should I be using my time studying 3 extra subjects just to take the test in May? And even if I did, would that help my University chances at all, as in, would it look better on my resume? (more the getting in part, i know about the college credit policies and what not)</p>

<p>I'm referring to AP Physics C (both), Ap Calc BC (already have most of Calculus down), and AP Comp Sci.</p>

<p>And also should I more be focusing efforts on SAT subject tests/ the SAT itself more instead?
Sorry, I'm just really all over the place about this stuff.</p>

<p>TO give a sense of perspective, I'm a Full IB Diploma Junior with school schedule:</p>

<p>IB Art SL
IB Chemistry (HL starts Senior year)
Sociology / (AP Psychology 2nd semester)
AP Government / (TOK 2nd semester)
IB History of the Americas HL
IB Math HL
IB French SL
IB English HL</p>

<p>Since you are doing the IB program, I don’t see it adding anything. I’d focus on doing well on your SAT’s. There is a SAT-preparation section with systematic study tips in a couple of pinned threads at the top. There is also an AP Test Prep subforum you might want to read for more insight.
