<p>I have a question regarding (surprise surprise) self-study APs. I was wondering which are the easiest to take because I am already taking quite a few during class, but there is always room for more. </p>
<p>APs I am scheduled to take throughout high school(I am a freshmen now so starting next year): </p>
<p>AP World History
AP Chemistry
AP US History
AP Enviro Science
AP English Language
AP English Lit
AP Calc BC
AP Physics
AP Econ</p>
<p>Self-study (that I plan on doing): AP Psych.</p>
<p>So if anyone has self-studied for any other APs and would like to share that would be great. And do you think it is worth it to self-study more or do I have enough?</p>
<p>I don't believe in self-studying APs for the point of having more APs. I believe in self-studying APs for one's own enjoyment. That said, you should figure out what topics really interest you. If you plan on becoming a biologist, go for biology. If you want to become a linguist, go for Latin or another language. That said, I would say that environmental science is supposedly pretty easy.</p>
<p>Yeah, I definitely agree. I mean I want to be an actor so I was thinking music theory or something along those lines. But I heard from my friend who is taking it that it is pretty difficult. Plus, I am already taking all the APs that interest me (specifically the English and History ones) but I was also thinking about Government because I am really interested in that topic....the only reason I am not taking it is because the teacher is crazy and she doesn't grade fairly. Thanks for the advice though, I appreciate it.</p>
<p>Ditto classof09. I took Calc BC my freshmen year and really enjoyed it, but it was a motherload of work and my feelings were definitely not shared by all. </p>
<p>Rules are: </p>
<p>Don't spread yourself too thin. Several 5's outweigh many 2's & 3's.</p>
<p>Don't pin yourself down to this schedule. Potential isn't a measure your ability to maximize your AP courseload in your freshmen year; colleges tend to look more at your academic enthusiasm and competency. </p>
<p>Above all, do what you love. You're not marketing yourself - it's not about the widest base appeal. If you really enjoy English, then take English courses, and not because they show that you love English to a college, but because you actually do love them.</p>
