Help! When to take AP and how to Prepare

<p>I am in real serious trouble .</p>

<p>I will start my Junior year in some weeks time. My school does not offer any AP (I don't think any school in my city does) , But I wanted to self-study 10-12 (basic sciences , psychology , statistics , math including calculas , euro and world history , no languages) APs to make my application stronger ( I will be an International applicant so I want a very strong app) .</p>

<p>I earlier thought that APs are offered every 3-4 months so I thought I would easily give 3-4 exams every time . But yesterday I came to know the hard truth that those exams take place only in mid-may .</p>

<p>In my country , school year starts around mid-april and ends around mid-march . I have summer vacation of around 1.5 months starting mid-may.</p>

<p>Now I will have to take all the APs in may of 2013 since registration dates for 2012 have passed , I can't take them after the end of my senior year as I will have to submit college applications around dec-jan (i.e. near end of 2013) . </p>

<p>So how should I prepare for APs ? I think that I can give 1-1.5 hours daily , maybe 2 hours daily in vacations and on sundays without compromising my school work . </p>

<p>Do you think that I will be able to score 5 on atleast 8-9 exams and 4 on the rest ? Please give me any advice you can on how to prepare and how much time I should devote daily .</p>

<p>About my current level of classes - Most of my classes are on par with AP level classes . I will be taking calculas(most of the things taught in AP) , physics ( including mechanics , electrodynamics , optics , thermodynamics) , chemistry , computer science (my school level is quite low but I general programming and lots about memory , functioning of computers , etc.) and rest of math(number theory , combinatorics , etc.) . I also take some higher level classes of physics , chemistry and math .</p>

<p>Please Please Please help me .</p>

<p>Anxiously waiting for replies , thanks in advance .</p>

<p>If you are good in your subjects, you can show proficiency by taking subject tests in SAT which have more weight for college admission. </p>

<p>If you have not taken APs ever and plan to take 10 or more at once, it would be impossible to score 5s on them unless you are considered a great test taker.</p>
