<p>I am currently a junior, of spanish nationality, and I attend an international school with an american system. We are planning the courses and classes for next year. I want to major in International Relations.</p>
<p>In 10th grade, I took AP French Language and I got a 5 (no surprise, I speak it fluently). In 11th grade (this year) I am taking AP European History and AP World History, and I think I will get a 5 on both (I am very good in history). I am also taking Spanish Language and Italian Language and Culture, but I will get a 5 in both, I speak them both fluently as well.</p>
<p>Being an International school overseas, we don't offer as many AP's as many american high schools in the states. Next year I was planning on taking AP English Language, and AP Macroeconomics. Now this is where my question begins.
Since the AP Economics course is only one for both exams, should I also take the AP Microeconomics exam? I feel that Macro is more relevant to my major, but what do you think?</p>
<p>For math, I need a math credit but I am not that good at Calculus (I am struggling with pre-calculus already), so should I take AP Statistics (I don't think I could ever handle AP Calculus AB, the only one that is offered at our school)?</p>
<p>Should I also take the AP US History course (which is offered as a class in my school)?
Next year they will offer AP Psychology, should I take that as well?
I am very interested in Comparative Gov't, Human Geography, but they don't offer them at our school, so I'd have to take them independently. US Gov't is not offered, but I don't know if that would really help me (being spanish, I'm not going to work in the US government).</p>
<p>The bigger questions are: is it really useful to take AP's that aren't necessary relevant to your major (Statistics, Psychology, Micro)? And is it suicide to study for the AP's independently?</p>
