<p>Has anyone taken 10+ AP exams in one year? If so, how did you manage to do it?</p>
<p>bumpbumpbump</p>
<p>bbbbbbbbbbuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmpppppppppppp</p>
<p>I will this year. I have already started (almost done) will making notes for each subject.</p>
<p>what APs are you guys taking?? you must be doing some self studying...</p>
<p>10 is excessive - kind of defeats the purpose of living. Id think 8 per year is max and even that is crazy.</p>
<p>I am going to do 8-10 but really its like 7
Stats - I take a stats class so that is most of it
Calc - I am in a calc class
Physics elect/magnetism
and mechanics I am in a physics B class and we cover a lot
Computer science AB I am in an independent study class, done with the course already
Micro/macro - have had a business for the last 3 years, know a lot of the micro. Macro is really easy just some logic.
Environmental Science - Physics/chem/new events/bio mix
Bio- I get my friends notes, learning it later
History US - I am debating about it, depends on if I have time.</p>
<p>Just learn them early and well.</p>
<p>I could take 10.. but I'm taking 9 x_x</p>
<p>You can take as much as you want. If you're determined, AP wont bad at all :). Start prepping today!!</p>
<p>I think it's a better idea just to take a few college classes instead. Take a couple APs and some college classes. You get guaranteed credit and it's a little more managable. I'm taking 4 AP's and 2 college classes this year.</p>
<p>10 APs are very impressive to adcom. There was this CCer who got into Harvard with 15 APs</p>
<p>wow... to me just 10 APs is unfathomable. the most anyone has taken at my school is 7 in one year, and they never did any independent studying, and got into harvard and yale... so i don't think that 10 or even 9 APs are really necessary for getting into Harvard, but do what you like. If you have a passion, then do it. I don't do anything "just for college." IMHO, that's like showing off. it's not genuine.</p>
<p>-will</p>
<p>and Business_Freak, are you talking about 10 APs in one year or during an entire high school career??? same question for the guy who did 15....</p>
<p>since it fits in with the whole "impress colleges" sort of deal... let me tell you my personal, original motto...</p>
<p>If you can impress someone (or a college!) without trying to impress them, that in itself is impressive.</p>
<p>wow, that was meaningful but not practical, aspariguy. Try to back this with personal successes in the admission process :)</p>
<p>ha... well with all you realists, i need to bring in some idealism to balance it out ; )</p>
<p>That fact is you must do w/e you can to impress the college of your choice, like it or not. Thats life. I dont believe in "passion" I believe in marketing to "show passion" The latter works all the time :)</p>
<p>well if i were to guess which one of us knew best how to market anything, i'd look for someone with "Business" in their username.</p>
<p>oh my!!</p>
<p>=D</p>
<p>on second thought... maybe i should be Plato_Zealot or something!</p>
<p>Yeah, one can make any crappy EC sound impressive if he/she has the skills.</p>
