<p>Hey all. So I have a bit of spare time between my light summer AP work and a part time job, and I figured I could take maybe a few (no more than 3) online AP courses over the summer.</p>
<p>I know they are offered at FLVS (not for free for me, though :(), and I was wondering what you all think would be easiest to self study over the summer with my spare time, from your personal experience?</p>
<p>I'm looking at AP World (should have no problems here, I'm a history guy) currently, and possibly Macroeconomics or Comparative Govt.</p>
<p>I have already taken: Euro, English Lang, Stats, US History</p>
<p>Next year I will be taking: Latin, Calc AB, Physics C, US Govt, Literature, and Chem (although may switch for EnviSci)</p>
<p>What AP's are doable in a little more than 2 months?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>It seems like you’re taking APs just because a class is labeled as AP. Bad choice.</p>
<p>No, I am actually interested in these areas, I am just a bit worried about not getting the traditional classroom attention.</p>
<p>Any other input?</p>
<p>If there’s a genuine motivation that goes beyond impressing admissions officers, by all means do take those APs. Most APs, except for Physics B, Biology, Chemistry, US History, possibly Euro and world, calc BC, and both Physics C exams combined are based on only one semester of college material, so contrary to popular belief, APs are very doable in 2 months as long as you have a bit of discipline. </p>
<p>The only problem is, AP exams are administered in May, and there’s a lot of time between now and then. They may come back to bite you in April when you have to review for those exams. I’ve never heard of college board administering August AP exams.</p>
<p>Okay, thank you iborpastan. My main motivation is that my school only offers about 1/2 of the AP classes (maybe a bit more than 1/2) and I am looking to get some knowledge in these subjects before college.</p>
<p>Micro/macro econ shouldnt be too bad. Im taking micro/macro economics this summer. It sucks how both classes only count as 1 Ap credit. </p>
<p>However, next summer (before senior year), ill be taking 2 AP’s online. Probably AP comp. sci and AP euro. Do you know if these classes are doable over the summer?</p>
<p>AP Human Geography is very easy to self study. All you need is a Barrons review book. Combined with an online course, you could do very well. If you like history, government, and economics, this class has elements of them all.</p>

<p>Euro will probably take a good investment of time, but it is certainly doable. I would suggest getting the Birdsall AP Euro book.</p>

<p>Didn’t read it myself (still got a 5), but my teacher and classmates highly recommended it (even the top student in the class)</p>
<p>As for AP Comp Sci, I have no idea, but it sounds intimidating 
good luck</p>

<p>Thank you, this is the kinda stuff I wanted to hear!</p>
<p>Is Geo mostly History or mostly scientific geography? Dunno if this is a clear question, but I don’t have much interest in plate tectonics, if that is what its like…</p>
<p>No, human geo isnt scientific geography. Im taking it next year, so I dont really know what exactly it covers. Instead, AP environmental science covers the “scientific” aspect of geography.</p>
