Self-Study APs

<p>My school doesn't offer some courses I originally planned on taking. I want to know whether or not it would be wise to self study a rather sizeable load of ap courses while still taking my regular course-load.</p>

<p>Regular Courseload:
AP English Lang
AP US History
Spanish 3
Career Planning
Physics
Precalculus
AP Psychology(taken semester after Career Planning)</p>

<p>Possible Self Studies:
AP Euro History
AP Chem
AP Biology
AP Stats
AP Macroeconomics</p>

<p>*Before anyone makes any comments about how many AP courses I want to self study, I want everyone to understand that I am a very motivated student who has a passion for these subjects. I do not want to take these courses because they might be very beneficial regarding college admission, I want to take them because I like them and I know I could do them.</p>

<p>Thank You</p>

<p>You could do stats and macro easily, maybe in about two weeks each. As for the other three, they’re manageable if you spend a bit of time on them regularly throughout the year. Doing all three of them together should be fine, but be ready to spend about 45 min a day on each of those three.</p>

<p>Go for it. I don’t think you have to worry about anyone on CC telling you that you’re in over your head. We’re all in over our heads here. =P</p>

<p>I recommend replacing Euro History with Microeconomics.
What grade are you in? It seems like you could better spend your time learning math since your impressive courses/self studies are lacking in that respect (Stats is a joke; I meant try to skip a math course to get into advanced math)</p>

<p>I suggest avoiding AP Bio and Euro since you already have APUSH. Chem is a maybe. Macro and Stat are fairly easy and would be beneficial in the real world.</p>

<p>Just wondering, what resources are you planning on using for AP chem? I’m planning on self-studying it too, so I’m curious haha.</p>

<p>I usually watch mit lectures when i self study subjects. MIT Opencourseware is a very good resource for college level classes. I am also planning on using princeton review books, buying myself a regular ap chem textbook, probably zumdahl’s chemistry and so on.</p>
