<p>You should know what I'm going to talk about, looking at the title.</p>
<p>First of all, self-studying for the AP Stat exam in my senior year is a bit useless, right? I mean, a half of the colleges I'm thinking of applying to don't even accept AP Stat credit. Still, I've missed the chance of taking that course twice, so that's a bit embittering. :(</p>
<p>Now, I'm in 4 AP classes, and assuming that I'll take the corresponding AP exams this spring, I'll have taken 8 in my high school career. One of my current APs is AP Physics B, which is a class that one normally takes without taking a General Physics class (which is probably why juniors outnumber the seniors, at least, in my class). However, I did. Now, I'm also taking AP Calculus BC, having taken AP Calculus AB last year.</p>
<p>So, I'm thinking of taking the AP Physics C exams (Mechanics and E&M), even though I know that the AP exams are ridiculously hard (involving some calculus more advanced than those found on either AP test?) and even though my friend (who's avid about physics to take the AP Physics C course at another school) was unconfident about his performance on the AP exams (don't know his scores yet). But apparently, there seem to be some more benefits in taking the C exams than the B exams (for example, more colleges accept C credits than those that accept B credit (particularly MIT, a school I'm considering applying to)), even though I'm interested in the sciences like biology, chemistry, or biochemstry. But to be frank (although a bit snobby), AP Physics B is a bit disappointing with its mathematics (although I probably struggled grasping the concepts in the second semester of General Physics (although there the fact that I didn't really try/like that class)).</p>
<p>So, would it be advisable to self-study for the AP Phyhsics C exams while taking the AP Physics B course?</p>
<p>Y'know, I predict that you'll say that I'll crash and burn.</p>
