Please give me some advice on self-study choices

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation
1

<p>I've decided that I'll self-study four APs in addition to the one that I have a class for.</p>

<p>1) Microeconomics (I have a class for this)
2) Macroeconomics
3) Environmental Science</p>

<p>Those three are set in stone, I will definitely take them.</p>

<p>Here are others that I am considering (I'm not considering ANY others, I'm taking the APs my school offers in senior year)</p>

<p>Biology
Comparative Government & Politics
English Language & Composition
Human Geography
Physics B
Statistics
U.S. History
U.S. Government & Politics
World History</p>

<p>I don't want to overload myself with pressure and stress but I also don't want to take five exams that colleges look down upon (the "little" and unimportant APs).</p>

<p>I'm a prospective economics major and my reach schools are Duke, U Chicago, and Cornell (my safeties are in Canada).</p>

<p>Edit:</p>

<p>I've chosen my last two: Statistics and Human Geography.</p>

<p>Here's my list as it is right now.</p>

<p>1) Microeconomics
2) Macroeconomics
3) Environmental Science
4) Statistics
5) Human Geography</p>

<p>Would you change this? Keep in mind that these will be the only AP scores that colleges will see and I want to improve my chances at my reach schools. Does it make sense that I'm taking these five or does it look like they don't match?</p>

<p>Addendum: Considering taking out Enviro Sci…</p>

3

<p>Emm, I would take out human geo., as it is widely regarded as a fluff AP on these forums.</p>

4

<p>Here’s my revised list:</p>

<p>1) Microeconomics
2) Macroeconomics
3) English Language & Composition
4) Statistics
5)</p>

<p>For my last pick I’m considering…</p>

<p>Biology
Comparative Government & Politics
Environmental Science
Human Geography
U.S. Government & Politics
World History</p>

5

<p>Bio is the most “serious” of those I would say (not fluff APs) so I would say Bio</p>

<p>btw: what books are u using for macro/micro self-studying?</p>

6

<p>world history is a pretty serious AP too. or you could take the both the politics?
Since these are the ones most related to your prospective major, I wouldn’t miss taking them.</p>
