Self-studying APs

<p>I plan on self-studying some combination of the following:
Macroeconomics
Microeconomics
Comparative government and politics
Statistics
European History</p>

<p>I just had a few questions about this. First of all, would it be of any benefit for me to do this in regards to college applications? I have taken five AP classes junior year (chemistry, psychology, environmental science, us history, and literature. I scored a 3,3,4,4, and 5 respectively). This year I am enrolled in literature, calculus AB, human geography, us government, and biology. How long would it take me to self-study each of these courses if I reasonably expect to score a 5 on the AP exams? Also, which books would you most recommend me buying for self study?</p>

<p>I think it may help you</p>

<p>Since you’re in calculus, Stats should be easy. Economics, Human Geography, and Gov are some of the ‘easier’ courses, too. I’m surprised that you’re retaking literature after a 5, though.</p>

<p>Books…</p>

<p>Economics: Mankiw’s textbook, PR, and 5 Steps
Comparative Government: Ethel Wood’s guide is brilliant
European History: PR, Crash Course, and Viault’s Modern European History</p>

<p>Hope that helps!</p>
