<p>All right, so here's the deal.
I'm currently a senior in high school, taking five AP classes: </p>
<p>AP French Language
AP English Literature and Composition
AP Biology
AP Physics B
AP Calculus BC</p>
<p>I have never self-studied an AP exam before, but I want to go above and beyond this year for application reasons and to receive college credit for doing so. Given my already loaded schedule, would it be possible to self-study AND receive 5's on the following exams, on my own time? </p>
<p>AP Microeconomics
AP Computer Science A (I have no programming experience)
AP Statistics
AP Psychology</p>
<p>Any input from anyone who has taken any of these exams, or the aforementioned ones would be extremely helpful! Even advice from fellow self-studiers would help tremendously! Thanks!</p>
<p>Programming/Computer Science A (Java) requires logical thinking IMO. If you have no programming knowledge of Visual Basic, Java, Pascal or any other programming language, it could be a challenge to self-study CS. </p>
<p>Yes it is possible, if you have the time and motivation to study. Studying for 9 AP exams around testing week will be intensive IMO.</p>
<p>Does you school allow you to self-study?
My school despises the IDEA of doing such things.</p>
<p>Psych and Stat are easy. Micro and Comp Sci probably require either background knowledge in the subject or a lot of interest.</p>
<p>For application reasons, this won’t do anything since they won’t see that you’re self studying until you’ve already been admitted. Psychology and Statistics are not that useful for college credit, either, at most colleges.</p>
