<p>Hi guys, so next year is my junior year.... I'm gonna take 5 AP classes at the school next year(Java, Calc BC, APUSH, AP Chem, and AP Lit/lang and comp (don't remember which one...)) So I'm thinking of taking 1 or two extra classes by myself (I think I need some easy classes) so which ones do you recommend??</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Never knew there was an AP Java…only Computer Science.</p>
<p>Anyways, AP Psych & AP Environmental are the two easiest ones to self-study for.</p>
<p>Java is the language used in AP Computer. </p>
<p>Human Geography is 90% common sense and world-knoledge.</p>
<p>Environmental is 50% other science overlap, 50% SmartyPants review book</p>
<p>Psychology = 5 by reading Barrons alone</p>
<p>I personally SS’ed Micro and Macro and found them a smidge more difficult than my other 6, however I taught myself both courses the night before the exam, so my experience might be a little different than your own. They are very dry however.</p>
<p>Comparative Gov would also seem to be easy.</p>
<p>is us politics and gov easy to ss too?</p>
<ul>
<li>Psyche</li>
<li>Statistics</li>
<li>Environmental Science</li>
<li>Economics</li>
<li>Human Geo.</li>
<li>English Language</li>
<li>Art History</li>
<li><p>Music Theory*</p></li>
<li><p>Not so sure, just *sound *easy.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>^thanks for everyone’s input so far… I’m thinking of trying maybe stats and psych (35 on ACT math) … but are there any more ideas??</p>
<p>I would say go ahead and self-study U.S. Gov’t and Politics since you will be taking U.S. history… depending on how in-depth your class goes you may end up knowing 60-70% of the test before doing any additional studying</p>
<p>Bummp. any other ideas?</p>
<p>As someone who breezed through 5’s on every other SocialSci test, I can sincerely tell you not to self study for Art History. It’s hard.</p>
<p>I agree with the art history comment. It is difficult to sit and read about art, especially without good images or a strong art glossary, for hours upon hours without some added information or context. You would learn much more (even with a lackluster teacher) and find it much more enjoyable to actually listen to a lecture with slides.</p>
<p>I would definitely not recommend self-studying for AP Music Theory. There is a wonderful exercise book that my school uses in conjunction with an aural training guide that can practically teach you the course, but the problem is that you need a teacher to tell you how your compositions look. Plus, learning the part-writing rules is hard without an instructor. Don’t do it.</p>
<p>Do. not. self study Art History.</p>
<p>Any kind of history.</p>
