<p>Since I'm going to be a senior next year, is it really worth it to self-study for AP's such as env. science, human geography, or music theory? Obviously colleges won't see the scores when I apply and many Ivy's don't even give any credit for some AP's in the first place.</p>

<p>And also...I'm an IB diploma candidate so is it worth it taking the corresponding AP tests for the IB subjects [ie IB Bio > AP Bio, IB Euro > AP Euro, etc...] for double credit in the spring or is that just a waste of time/money as well?</p>

<p>If they don’t accept the credit it’s worthless. Why waste your money?</p>

<p>It really depends on the college but I would definitely take the correspoinding AP Test for the IB Subjects. A lot of schools give credit for AP Bio, AP Euro, and what not. But there’s some tests like AP Human Geography where you get no credit at all.</p>
