<p>What APs are the easiest to self study?</p>
<p>Are they worth doing? How do colleges look at them. </p>
<p>Keep in mind some AP tests are changing this year </p>
<p>You will not get any points for self-studying APs from Adcoms. You may do them in order to get the college-credit in which case I recommend doing APHumanGeo and AP Psych.</p>
<p>If your school offers the course, colleges will prefer that you take the course. Self studying does not impress them. Last Spring, I went to an Exploring College Options event, which had reps from Harvard, Stanford, Penn, Duke, and Georgetown. During the Q&A, someone asked, “What do you think of applicants who self-study for additional AP’s over and above the AP classes they take?” One rep responded, “Please don’t do that. We’re not impressed by that.” The other reps all nodded.</p>
<p>As AP scores carry little to no weight in admissions decisions, the only benefit may be college credit. Keep in mind that many top colleges do not give credit for the “easier” AP’s.</p>
