<p>I know this list is really wrong, but it would be very helpful if you just ranked a few. Also which of these would be best to self-study? Let's have them ranked from 1-10. (1 being the easiest)</p>

<p>Why do you want to self study? It won’t help you in admissions, it won’t increase your course rigor. If you want college credit and your school doesn’t offer the course, then self studying may be in option. In this case, the easier APs may not help you because colleges tend not to give credit for them.</p>

<p>I concur with guineagirl96, both on the rankings and questioning the motivation for self studying. If your school offers the course, colleges will prefer you to take the course.</p>

<p>The easier tests to self study will also likely grant you no credit at top colleges, so in that case, there is no benefit other than self-satisfaction.</p>

<p>I took those classes right off the list of AP credit exams from the college I wanted to go to so that shouldn’t be a problem :slight_smile: Anymore tips or rankings?</p>

<p>what are the top 5 easiest self-study exams??</p>

<p>

Depends on the person, but in general, the ones with the lowest scores above :)</p>

<p>In no particular order:</p>

<p>Psych
Stat
Environmental Science
US/Comp Gov
Micro/Macro</p>

<p>Also consider: CS if you have solid programming experience. The rest, I would not suggest self studying IMO. Again, I don’t recommend self studying as a strategy at all.</p>
