<p>I'm aiming for the AP National scholar award. I'm taking 11 (possibly 12 ) exams though so I can have lots of cushion room. Exams on courses that I am or have taken are : Physics, Geography, Both Englishes, Chemistry, Comp Sci A, US History. the only self studies are Stats, Phych, Biology, and US Gov. I've got a knack for math (though I am infuriated by my stupid mistakes on nearly every test). and I hear psych is easy and just requires some memory work. I'm doing really good in Bio right now. I think I'm really understnading the material (thank you cliffnotes!) and explaing the processes to my UIL team prepares me for the essays. I take UIL science tests which are sorta liek the AP exams and I always score high. I took an AP US Gov test and got 2/3 of the questions right (without taking the course or doing any studying). So I think if I study for it I can do well.
But enough of that boring crap. I'm wondering if I should take AP Comparative government. The test would be over the governments of the ENTIRE WORLD. I've not been exposed to those governments as much as American so I'm not sure if I will be able to grasp the material in time for the test.<br>
also, I MIGHT be doing a science fair project ( a commputer program that balences class sizes in a school) which will take a large chunk of time. Whether or not I do it depends on if it interferes with Science UIL District (which it probably will).
So now that you know a lil bout my nerdy self, do u think I should do Comparative government? ha I dont even know what it would be about;</p>
<p>and I gotta turn in the moeny tomorrow so I gotta decide tonight.</p>
<p>lol I'm dishing out over 500 bucks for this. anyone know of a good pitch to throw my school to get a fee reduction?</p>
<p>AP Comparative Government is not governments of the "entire world." You have to know 5 Countries(Britain, France, Russia, China, and Mexico) and it is not easy to just learn everything yourself, because each country has quite a bit of info you need to know on each government. Just an FYI.</p>
<p>I'd say take it and guess on every single problem that way you have a chance</p>
