<p>So, my Junior year schedule is full, but I want to self study for some more AP tests. Here is a list of the ones I am considering:</p>
<p>AP u.s. history
AP World History
AP Macro/Micro
AP Art history
AP psych
AP environmental science
Ap American/comparative govt.
AP stats</p>
<p>I am pretty motivated, straight A student, ect. Does anyone have suggestions for any of these, such as study books, textbooks, resources....</p>
<p>Don’t self study US History or Art History. You’re crazy if you want to do that.
The others are fine, World History and the Govt exams will be the hardest.</p>
<p>APUSH isn’t that hard to self study. It’s juts memorization. Plus, you probably already took US History in 8th grade.</p>
<p>Art History I’d be more concerned about.</p>
<p>Macro/Micro are definitely possible, I was able to do that and got a 4 and 5 respectively.
I think Psych would be possible too, and maybe Stats or possibly Environmental science.
Past there I would think it would get much more challenging. If you’re completely not sure, I would suggest thinking about if you will receive credit in the end to the college you are considering, if any.</p>
<p>Psychology and Environmental Science are typically the easiest to self-study for. But please, don’t feel like you have to go out of your way to cram as many extra AP courses as possible into what I assume is already a busy schedule.</p>
<p>Ya… Self-studying Art History = death. Don’t do it.</p>
<p>Self-studying Art History is OK…if you’re an art fanatic who has way too much free time.</p>
<p>Just do Psych if you’re a humanities person or Enviro/Stats if you’re a math person. Don’t self-study too many.</p>
<p>AP u.s. history - Not bad, as long as you’re good with memorization. And DON’T PROCRASTINATE. Would have saved me so much sanity if I did.
AP World History - Probably similar to APUSH. No personal experience. Probably fine if you’re a history buff.
AP Macro/Micro - I’ve heard of a lot of people doing this and studying a week before. They all got 5s.
AP Art history - Taking this right now, and the textbook is huge. Once again memorization oriented but fun nevertheless. Must be motivated.
AP psych - Easy studying night or a few nights before should guarantee a 5.
AP environmental science - Probably another one those week in advance studies.
Ap American/comparative govt. - No idea. Heard the class is a joke.
AP stats - The class is a joke. aka HowtoUseYourCalc 101</p>
<p>I am considering self studying for a psyc. AP</p>
<p>Comparative Gov’t, didn’t study and got a 4. But I took the class with a horrible teacher.</p>
<p>Taking US Gov’t as well.</p>
<p>You can self study for them.</p>
<p>How about AP biology Self study, anyone try this?</p>
<p>Self studying bio right now. However, I already had honors bio so I basically know it all already.
It’s not difficult.</p>
<p>APUSH - memorization. I’m not gifted in history (ugh, hate dates; got a 4) but if you’re good at it, it’s not that bad. AMSCO is wonderful though, if you’re going to take the exam (only book I used).</p>
<p>AP US Govt. - all I really remember from 9th grade was that I BS’d the essay about senate vs. house of representatives, lol. Don’t know how I got a 5 but it seemed easier than APUSH.</p>
<p>AP Art History - I took a look at the textbook and gave up. I had a couple friends who tried to study for it about two weeks before the test and they ended up with 3’s… TONS of memorization.</p>
<p>I’m also planning on self-studying for psych and maybe enviro-science because I’ve heard those are easy. (:</p>
<p>right now i have the APUSH textbook and am getting notes from someone in the class. I am also taking a regular psych course so the AP Psych test will be easy. Plus, i heard that ap psych and env. science are super easy tests.</p>
