<p>...and you can self-study just from Barrons. I took 13 exams this year, and got 4s/5s on all except the ones I didn't really study for. So if you want to do it, go for it.</p>
<p>HOw long did you study?</p>
<p>How many did you self study?</p>
<p>Yeah, if you like saying indoors all day for the rest of your high school life...there's simply no time to do that much reading.</p>
<p>^^^ I agree, I think its awsome to take AP classes but thats over doing it. Its good to have a balanced lifestyle.</p>
<p>yay i will do European history and music theory then (MT strikes fear into my heart though)</p>
<p>If you are going to take a lot of exams i would advise doing it soph and junior year. After senior year most of the time its useless, there are exceptions though. </p>
<p>I think whats more impressive is seeing who can take the most exams for the least amount of money. I took 14 and paid 164 dollars total. Most of you must have had to pay close to 1000 dollars.</p>
<p>Didn't take much time really...you only NEED to schedule enough time to read the Barrons in the last 3 weeks before the exam, so 20 hrs AT VERY MOST for each book. More like 10 on average. My life was hell for probably a month and a half, but it was really worth it to me. Make your own decision, but it definitely didn't require me being a study monk for a year beforehand.</p>
<p>And yeah, that's definitely the most impressive thing to do. Screw taking 13 exams and having to pay $75 each, just see if you can take 10 for 100, you'll have me beat then...no smilies here, but if there were I'd insert one rolling its eyes.</p>
<p>If you look at my reply in the scores thread, that'll say. I self studied: calc bc, world, chem (never actually studied :/), macroeconomics, microeconomics, both physics c, psychology, and probably something else I'm forgetting at the moement.</p>
