<p>I just received on an offer from a school on the condition that I get two more 5s in full year AP subjects this year and a 5 in one half year subject, or three 5s in full year APs (the school's in the UK, that's how they do things there). I only have a few months until the APs, so could you suggest which APs would be easiest to study in this time?</p>
<p>I was thinking I'd take Comparative Gov, Art History, Euro, and maybe Psychology? Any thoughts?</p>
<p>EDIT: I know Euro is often considered hard, but I took some multiple choice and I did quite well. Something like 30/35 without studying at all beforehand.</p>
<p>What is considered a full year subject, and what is considered a half year subject by the university in question? And what have you already taken or will be taking?</p>
<p>Do not take Art. Art requires a ton of memorization. </p>
<p>Comp. Gov and Psych are the easiest ones on your list. If you already have the pre-req. knowledge for Euro and a predilection for Euro, then Euro can be easy as well.</p>
<p>Psych is by far a easy 5 on the AP. Relax and self-study AP Psych. Take Comparative Gov–the Gov. Exams are far easier than most other APs, and I don’t know much about Art History, but I agree with IceQube. A friend of mine took Art History self-studied and did not do so well–but it’s your call, really. If you’re strong in Art and have a passion for it, why not?</p>
<p>It’s your decision, ultimately, all we can do is give suggestions – Take the exams which YOU feel that you enjoy, are willing to study for, and have a mastery over. Good luck!</p>
<p>Both Human Geo and US Gov are relatively easy, but you want to put a fair bit of effort in each to get a 5. Don’t assume that because it’s easy you can put studying off until the last week … easy is determined on a relative basis. Human Geo and Gov are probably easier than say AP Chem for the majority of people, but there is no substitute for studying throughout the year, especially when a college offer hinges on it. Good luck :)!</p>
<p>AP U.S. Gov you could definitely handle, and coming from the U.S. definitely helps with that test. I’m doubtful of you being able to master in 1.5 months all the isms of the 19th century, the architectural terms, all the famous sculptures, etc. that is required for the Art History exam. Most people have not been exposed to the concepts that exam covers pre taking the class so you’d probably have less background knowledge for the exam than others. APES and Human Geography would be my other suggestions besides U.S. Gov. Population trends is a topic that overlaps from the APES to Human Geo exam, so if you do both of those, the overlap would make it easier to master the concepts by May.</p>
<p>Many of the “easier to self study” APs are given at most one semester of college credit in US universities (and may not get any credit in some universities which think that they are not rigorous enough). Examples include psychology, statistics, any of the government ones, calculus AB, physics C if you take only one of the sections, chemistry, economics if you take only one of the sections (some universities count both sections as just one semester), computer science A or AB, human geography, environmental science.</p>
<p>Find out what actually counts as a “full year” subject and what counts as a “half year” subject.</p>
<p>I can’t be sure that that list is what your universities divides AP exams into. Like what ucbalumnus said, find out what counts as each.</p>
<p>I’ve removed languages and studio art. I recommend the underlined subjects.</p>
<p>Group A (harder)
Biology
Calculus AB
Calculus BC
Chemistry
Physics (as half courses B and C)
English Literature and Composition
English Language and Composition
European History
United States History
World History</p>
<p>Group B (slightly lower level of demand than the Group A subjects)
Art History
Computer Science A (a one-term course)
Environmental Science
Government and Politics: Comparative
Government and Politics: United States
Human Geography
Macroeconomics
Microeconomics
Music Theory
Psychology
Statistics</p>
<p>Just curious, what is the university that you received the conditional offer from?</p>
