<p>I noticed that quite a lot of people in here are self-studying APs.
I am an international myself, my school (or any school in my country basically) doesn't offer APs, so I am on my own! </p>
<p>These are the ones I'm taking, plus the books I'm using:</p>
<p>Calculus AB (Kaplan, Barrons, Calculus the Easy Way, PR)
Physics B (Kaplan, PR)
World History (REA (tip!), 5 Steps to a 5)
English Language and Composition (PR)
Micro-economics (PR, 5 steps to a 5 + Tekstbooks (Mankiw, Krugman))
Biology (Kaplan, PR + Textbook (Concepts and Connections), might order Cliffsnotes)</p>
<p>How's it going with all of you guys? Which APs are you taking? Advice? Tips? Questions?
Rants about procrastination?</p>
<p>I’m self-studying macro, micro, environmental science and bio, in addition to the many exams I have to take for APs I’m actually enrolled in. >.<;;</p>
<p>I’ve barely started on Biology, not started on the rest. Exams are less than a month away.</p>
<p>Greaattt…</p>
<p>Aside from being dreadfully boring IMO, biology’s not that bad. But yeah, cliffs is definitely the way to go for bio. (:</p>
<p>Yeah… Im kind of procrastinating too Physics is going to be a disaster.
I took a physics course a year ago, and I haven’t touched a physics books since then (ergo: I haven’t studied yet.). As I have for most of the other tests as well. But I guess it will work out, since I know most of the content of my APs already.</p>
<p>Yeah. I basically signed up for AP Bio on a whim (registration was the last week of March at my school). I kind of regret it, too. I mean, to wait until the last month to self-study it is already bad enough, but to make matters worse, I have absolutely no interest in biology. Which makes it all the more difficult for me to focus. :(</p>
<p>Oh, and I just realized, GuiltyBystander. We actually have many tests in common. I’m also taking Calculus(BC), World, Lang, Micro and Bio. Haha.</p>
<p>I’m self studying AP Calculus BC, Psychology, and Physics C (Mech)…I haven’t really started Physics C yet…problem…
I’m also taking AP Bio and AP Physics B. For AP Bio, use 5 steps to a 5. My AP teacher says its the best book, but don’t get caught up on the human anatomy stuff.</p>
<p>self-studying Calculus AB. Using a textbook to provide practice problems, the ds marketing AP Calculus AB examination, and the princeton review. i am somewhat unprepared for section II of the multiple choice and the free response section.</p>
<p>Thanks Koreapride93, I might order the 5 steps to a 5 instead of cliffs then! </p>
<p>And kh267: Thats actually kind of funny, because I chose a really random combination of tests! Well, now I know I am at least not alone in my procrastinating-on-way-to-many-tests! </p>
<p>Jerrry4445: Yeah, I feel kind of unprepared for the FR part as well, but the problems in past tests don’t seem that hard though. Luckily. I am using Barrons, it’s much harder than the actual AP test, which leaves you less overwhelmed at testday. </p>
<p>Calculus is my first test btw (the 6th of May), I would have prefered an easier one though, like World History or Econ, because I never took a standardized test before (like the SATs, TOEFL, etc.).</p>
<p>I’m basically self studying physics C M/EM, apush, ap comp, and ap bio since my teachers haven’t prepared me at all for the ap exams…wow I hate my school.</p>
<p>I know this is completely unrealated but gulitybystander how are you going to take the exams if there aren’t any schools in your country that offer them?</p>
<p>Yeah… We have only one international school that offers them, I guess. But I’m not even sure if they have actual AP courses (I think they teach IB), I think every country has to have atl east one AP test centre… I am not sure… I have to take a 2 hour trainride to get to the test centre, though! Haha.</p>
<p>Self studying Calc BC and Latin Virgil. I’m taking Bio and Chem through school. I think if I keep going over calc, bio, and chem, I should be fine for those tests. Virgil…not so sure.</p>
Physics is going to be a disaster.
