<p>Hi. Please rank these AP exams in terms of the easiness of self-studying, understanding, and getting a 5 on(from easiest to hardest).</p>
<p>AP Envi Sci, AP Macroecon, AP Psych, AP Euro, AP Comp Sci, AP Comp. Gov't.</p>
<p>Do any of them require a "pre-req" course in your opinion?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Easiest: AP Psychology (Took it last year, got a 5 with pure BS)
AP Macroeconomics (I’m self studying this year, it isnt bad at all)
AP Comp Gov (just a guess - no experience with this course)
AP Environmental (make sure you’ve had a bio class and chem class, and don’t underestimate it!)
AP Comp Sci (unless you already know how to program, then it’d probably be fairly easy)
Hardest: AP Euro (there’s a lot of material and I believe you need to practice writing as well)</p>
<p>thanks! bump?</p>
<p>AP Psych is a breeze, and pretty interesting, if you ask me. I self-studied for a week before the exam and whizzed through the exam (and got a 5!).
AP Macro isn’t bad, from what I’ve heard. Neither is APES. Just don’t get cocky and underestimate them (that’s what a lot of people end up doing, hence the lower-than-expected pass rates).
From what I’ve heard, AP Comp Gov is pretty self-studyable, although not as easy as Psych or APES (probably more on the AP Macro level).
AP Comp Sci is pretty basic computer science, so if you already know Java, you should be fine. My friend self-studied second semester junior year and got a 4.
AP Euro is probably the most difficult from that list. There’s a lot of information and concepts to be connected. I took the honors equivalent as a class, which covered the AP material second semester, and the AP exam still killed me… kind of? (I got a 3.)
I don’t think any of them require a prerequisite course. All of them are easily self study-able except AP Euro (and possibly APCS, but I can’t speak from personal experience on that one). Good luck!</p>
<p>All of those you can definitely self study, I just think AP Euro requires a teacher, especially a good one because the amount of material you need to know is CRAZY (and this is coming from a girl who loves history and got a 5). </p>
