AP tests with IB classes

<p>I am a sophomore at an IB school and will be getting the IB diploma.
I will take the following IB tests , the ones with asterisks in junior year and the rest as a senior.</p>

<p>SL-Chemistry*, Psychology, and Spanish</p>

<p>HL- Physics, History of the Americas/Topics in 20th century( I don't know how to translate this into a AP), Math*, and English</p>

<p>Would it benefit me in college admissions to take the AP tests? If so which tests should I take?</p>

<p>Is taking AP tests with my classes helpful and/or should I self study tests. I am aiming at top-20 schools.</p>
