<p>so im guessing that i cant study ap chem? ;/</p>
<p>^ Probably not… it’d be hard.</p>
<p>What should I self study?
I am only allowed to take AP English and I am self studying AP Japanese for sure.</p>
<p>AP Environmental Science - Easier AP
AP Psychology - Easier AP
AP Human Geography - Easier AP
AP Microeconomics - Taking Gov. + Econ.
AP Macroeconomics - Taking Gov. + Econ.
AP Government - Taking Gov. + Econ.</p>
<p>I was thinking that Micro, Macro, and Gov. would be an “extension” of the class (no AP class offered for those subjects).</p>
<p>I am sure that 8 AP’s are too much in 1 year, but I don’t know which ones to not self study… Help, please?</p>
<p>Don’t self study physics or chem. Those are pretty difficult without the formal class. The others are manageable i think.</p>

<p>same question as mtv22</p>
<p>I am a Sophomore and am interested in self-studying Human Geography. Is this recommended, or are there easier APs to self-study?</p>
<p>How would I go about studying for this exam, or any other exam for that matter?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>@Parallelism: AP Stats and AP Environmental Science are also really easy to self-study for. I don’t know much about AP HG, but you could try. </p>
<p>@xcbballuver: Not really. Colleges get a copy of your transcript and a copy of your AP exam scores. They would compare which ones you have taken at school/online programs, and which ones you have self-studied for. EC’s are more outgoing and usually involve interacting with others, so I wouldn’t count studying for AP exams as an EC.</p>
<p>I also have a brief question - Will self-studying an AP course such as Human Geography, Government, or Environmental Science next school year be beneficial if I am a rising Senior? (Thus, the HYPSM colleges that I will apply to will not be able to see my AP Exam scores before they deliver their respective decisions.)
My school only offers a small selection of AP courses, and I am desperately trying to make myself competitive for the admissions process/nightmare.
Thanks!</p>
<p>@VPP: If you had taken advantage of your school’s AP courses and did well in all of them, then yes. Or, you can take online AP courses from programs, such as JHU CTY and NU CTD. I know a person from my school who took AP Physics B from CTY, and got a high score on the AP Exam. Unless you’re planning to save money for college, I would suggest to try to take a course. Note, however, that your counselor will provide a list of courses that your school has, so colleges can’t blame you for not taking as many AP courses as you would have hoped.</p>
<p>How many AP exams can one take during one year?</p>
<p>@TheBasedGod - As much as you want/can handle. Most kids do 5 during their junior and senior years.</p>
<p>@TheBasedGod: I’ve seen people taking 7 to 8 AP Exams in one year, but success rates aren’t always that high. Unless you have good time management, I would suggest doing 2 or 3 so that other areas of your application won’t get affected.</p>
<p>@TheBasedGod: How many do you think you can handle? Theoretically, it’s possible to take 20 or so in a year. Whether you can or want to is a different story. Depending on which classes you take at school, you could take up to 7, plus a handful of easy self-study APs. Again, it all depends on how much time you’re willing to put in.</p>
<p>I’m wondering whether or not I should take the AP Art History test through self-studying because I want to go to a UC. Is the test worth studying for in order to get the credits (if they’re even needed)?</p>
<p>I’ll be a junior for 11-12 school year, I’m a bit of a history buff and I can remember people and events pretty well. I just took the Euro test and scored a 5. </p>
<p>Thanks for the help!</p>
<p>I recommend self studying it. Seeing as you already took AP Euro, which overlaps AP Art Hist, and scored well on it, you should not have much of a problem studying AP Art History. Usually, if you can self study the course and get a good score on it, you can be set apart from others. And self studying can help to get you ready for college since a lot of it is basically studying some of the material on your own time.</p>
<p>Hi, I live in Vancouver where most public schools don’t have a single AP class to offer.
Our school does have AP Calculus AB so I’m taking it next year in my junior yr.
But I’m gonna self-study BC and take the BC instead, since I’m a math person.
I self-studied AP Bio this yr and got a 5 without a problem.
I’m pretty good at pacing myself, so I want to self-study all the way…</p>
<p>SO, next(junior) year:</p>
<p>AP Psychology,
AP English Lang and Comp,
AP Calculus BC,
and AP Physics and/or Chem,
all self-studying.</p>
<p>Which should I take, Physics, Chem, or Both?</p>
<p>I’m probably majoring something biology-related, and perhaps going into the medical field.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading.</p>
<p>I plan to self-study physiology and statistics.</p>
<p>But I want to throw in Human Geo (Just for fun I guess, but I’m willing to take the test).</p>
<p>Does anyone know a really good helpful test prep book OR should I self-study?</p>
<p>For AP Human Geo, use Princeton Review. DO NOT USE BARRONS. It’s a waste of time and doesn’t really prepare you much for the test. It will get you a passing score. But to get a 5, you must use PR. Barrons has no real world application material, which is on the test.</p>
<p>So for Psychology I should use Barron’s, and for APHG, I should get PR? I don’t want to use a textbook, so are these good books to self study with, without a textbook?</p>
<p>Yes those are good books. If you want you can get REA as well for APHG. But PR is the first choice.</p>
