Self-Studying Questions

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>I will be a junior next year and I want to start self studying APs. This year, I only took AP World History. I have no clue how many AP classes I can self study without becoming overwhelmed. At school, I am taking AP Biology, U.S. History, and English Language. AP Biology is known for being the hardest AP at school, but the other two are average in terms of work load (for AP). I was thinking of self-studying European History and Psychology. This is the minimum I am planning on doing. Do you think I can handle one or two more? If so, which one(s)?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Reversing the question for a sec what’s your motivation for doing a high number of AP classes? How strong your motivation to do the classwork is probably one of the biggest factors in how much you can handle. People have done over 10 ap classes in a year. On the other hand some can be frustrated with just a few.</p>

<p>As for ideas of “easy” AP classes to do I’d recommend US Gov, Statistics, and Environmental Science as ones to consider. Literature is another one which really is dependent upon how well you can read and understand esoteric fiction and poetry and if you read a lot of classic or can read them with ease and have a good vocabulary would likely be not that hard to do.</p>

<p>Hi! I love all parts of English, history, and science, but I am not too crazy about math. My reason for self studying is pretty cliche, but I love to learn and I want to give myself the most challenging curriculum possible. I am not very good at teaching myself in math, but I was really motivated in studying world history this year. I had an online class, but I did not learn anything and the online textbook did not work, so I had to buy Barron’s and just study, study, and study! I actually loved studying world history, and I felt accomplished after just taking that one exam. I want to donate significant time to each subject, so I do not know how much is too much, you know?</p>

<p>Thanks for responding!</p>
