<p>I want to self-study 2 APs, but I'm not sure on which ones. Should I self-study AP Environmental Science and AP European History or AP Environmental Science and AP Human Geography? I'm pretty good at science and history, but I'm not exactly sure what Human Geography encompasses and don't know if I should take it. How "easy" are each of these courses, especially if they are self-studied? Any advice? Thanks!</p>
<p>Bump…Anyone?</p>
<p>Most schools dont take the human geo credit soo… if you want the credit take euro.</p>
<p>Out of those choices… i would take AP euro. </p>
<p>Human Geo and Environmental aren’t the best for credit/effectiveness. </p>
<p>Personally i would study the course work thats either beneficial either societal or for your major. </p>
<p>Societal:
AP US/Comparative gov
APUSH
AP English Lang</p>
<p>Major based:
AP Science (Bio,Chem,Physics)
AP Calc
AP Language</p>
<p>Euro not human geo. euro is pretty easy to self study. Got a 4 (kinda self, just memorize book) Thts it look ovr frq</p>
<p>I thought Euro was very hard (even by taking the class), but I got a 5 on the exam. I also took AP World basically only with what I knew from Euro and background knowledge (scored a 4 on that). I thought AP World was much easier than Euro since it was less specific, and you just had to recognize patterns of time periods and big events…</p>
<p>So with my experience, I would suggest you take AP World instead of Euro. However, less colleges accept World than Euro, so I would take that into consideration as well. Look at perspective schools and then see which test you should take. However, I believe that AP Euro was MUCH harder than world. Don’t underestimate the amount of work you have to do for Euro (I know I did). Learning ~600 years of the history of an entire continent (plus more) is no easy task…</p>
<p>So you probably don’t have these classes if you are self studying them, but if taking AP Euro is an option at your school, I would STRONGLY encourage taking the class instead of self-studying. It also depends on the structure of the class, but I learned so much more from our daily discussions than I could’ve just reading the textbook. History isn’t just memorizing facts, and I think that a class would be best to teach you these “other” aspects of history (making connections, recognizing patterns, analyzing primary source documents, etc).</p>
<p>Also: Don’t take APHUG or APES, most colleges don’t accept the credit (Unless you truly like these topics and just want to take the test to show colleges how much you love them).</p>
<p>i know of many schools that do not accept ap hug credit. apes seems to be an easy self study, but i also took the class</p>
