<p>Salve, I agree with all your points actually. I currently take AP Calculus AB (planning on self-studying BC) but the teacher does not teach. He skips the proofs and flips through powerpoint slides with just barebone formulas on them, with an example or two sometimes. So I supplement those with MIT Opencourseware lectures.</p>
<p>But are APs such as Human Geography or Environmental Science really worth studying beyond the AP test? I found that a lot of the stuff in EnviSci is already on AP Bio (which the teacher doesn’t teach as well, leaving me to read through Campbells+Cliffs). But with respect to other APs, I am using textbooks+prepbooks to selfstudy.</p>
<p>Current I take APUSH, APWH, APBio and AP Calc AB in school and I’m planning on selfing AP Psychology (with barrons only), AP Envi Sci (Smartypants), AP Statistics (textbook + barrons), AP US Gov (Textbook, old edition though + PR), AP Micro/Macro (Just PR atm, but I’m going to try get the school to buy the textbook for me since they might teach it next year).</p>
