<p>As I said before, it depends on what you plan to go into beyond high school. If you feel that these classes will not have any influence in your future major than you don’t need to, but otherwise I would recommend studying beyond it. I mean, if you plan to go into something that is not at all related to these classes, then I guess it wouldn’t really be useful to study more into them (except for your own intellectual stimulation… haha).</p>
<p>For example, I plan to go into Chemical Engineering. Would it be worth studying beyond the scope of the AP course for say… US government? I really don’t think so, so it may not be worth it. Let’s say this was Calculus BC though. Then yes, I think I probably should study proofs that are not covered in the regular class and whatever else is part of Calculus 1 and 2. I would recommend looking at the college’s site that you want to go to and looking at the course descriptions of what you would be opting out of and comparing the AP Syllabus with that of the corresponding college course.</p>
<p>Good idea using textbooks and prepbooks to study by the way.</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
