<p>I am taking </p>
<p>AP Biology
AP English-Literature and Compostion.
Majority of the rest of my courses are easy-but Bio is the hardest AP at my school and I am taking a load of six courses.</p>
<p>Senior year my school does not offer any year long courses in history or social studies-I am taking international relations
US government.
I am thinking though since I took APUSH this year and will take a semester course in US government I might on my own take the AP US gov test-how is that exam?</p>
<p>AP English
AP World History
AP Calc AB
AP Euro </p>
<p>I'm taking international relations my senior year. Not many schools offer that. I'm thinking of doing the US history on my own too because it's suicide in my school.</p>
<p>If you are going to self-study us history-I highly suggest the REA book. this year I used it as a second textbook and it helped a lot. The MC tests are lot harder than the actually exam.
I took AP Euro last year-i found it was really helpful with understanding US history.</p>
<p>That's good. I've taken 3 years of US history 1880-now (due to switching school districts) but I never got the history of the beginning until 1880 (again due to switching school districts.) So I know everything from 1880 on backwards and forwards, how much will I have to study to get the rest? Oh, and I'm taking Euro history the same year as world because I thought they'd coincide (I'm not sure if that's the right word but you get my point.) Would taking 3 AP history exams in one year be good or bad?</p>
<p>Before 1880, isn't that bad it's really just that there is a lot more issues concerning government. With the articles of confederation, consitituion, federalist era, and then the civil war a lot of it deals with different interpretations of government. It takes a little bit to sink in but after a while you get it.
You said you are taking four AP classes and thinking about self studying US history-but only taking three exams?
Sorry at my school we are required take each AP exam for our class. it depends on which exams you are doing. At my school a lot of seniors took three or more AP exams, it isn't that bad especially if the exams are related. For both history and english exams you need to be able to write well to do essays and DBQs.</p>
<p>im taking:</p>
<p>ap physics, ap calc and ap united states history</p>
<p>self study</p>
<p>ap psychology
ap comp sci AB (can someone give me book or online resources for this)
ap micro/macro (since its easy.. kinda)
ap stats ( i need book or online resources for these too..)</p>
<p>Wow! that's a lot of APs-have fun with that.
I believe there are past threads somewhere on here that can help with you with resources.</p>
<p>Haha no I'll be taking about 6 AP exams (English lang, English Lit, <em>maybe bio again</em>, world, euro, calc, and maybe US) next year, I just meant 3 AP HISTORY exams =]. But I already took the AP Gov test this year and I'm really good with government so if that's all I should know from early on then self-studying shouldn't be TOO bad...</p>
<p>Sorry about misunderstanding.:)</p>
<p>Government I would say is really important- but in just a general sense you need to know like trends and patterns in American society like revolution(American revolution, Civil War, counterculture, civil rights) and cultural trends in literature.</p>
<p>Also, romanigypsyeyes-how is AP Gov, because i am thinking about taking the exam for it next year by self study.</p>
<p>I self-studied. It was harder then I thought it would be but I blew it off and probably got a 4. The FRQs were much easier then I thought they would be but they didn't have a graph/chart one for like the first time since 1999 -.- I was SOO mad because those were the easy ones. If somebody actually puts time into it, it should be a breeze. Have you taken AP psych by chance?</p>
<p>No, I haven't. I am thinking about taking it since next year I am taking two years of science.
AP Biology
Bio-Psch/Pschology
so with governent it might be in my best intrest to self study.
Some of my friends self-studied and they just used Barrons and felt pretty confident.</p>
<p>I used Cliffs and I thought it did a really good job (for gov). I got the powerpack for bio and I think it saved my life today. </p>
<p>Yeah, psychology is REALLY easy to self-study. Which is what I should be doing now but I am a procrastinator.</p>
<p>What AP classes/exams are you taking this year?</p>
<p>I totally forgot the AP Bio exam was today-i am sick with a sinus infection today and i was suppose to be helping my friends cram this morning oh well.
I am a procrasinator too don't worry.</p>
<p>Lol this year, no AP classes.
But I took the bio, gov, and psych tests. I'm really worried though because April was like my slow month (sports and theater were over for me) and the month I was planning on studying and then I came down with a really bad case of mono. So basically I had a week to study gov, 5 days for bio, and a day for psych.
That's why I might retake bio, I'm just adamant about not taking the AP bio class because one, honestly I'm too lazy to take it, and two, we have to dissect something and I refuse to do it (pretty stupid reason not to take an AP class, I know but still... lol)</p>
<p>AT my school, Bio I kids do fetal pigs!</p>
<p>AP English Composition
AP Chemistry
AP US History</p>
<p>Regular bio does pigs and eyes of something (yuck). One of the honors bio does pigs, mine doesn't do any =]. And if we do, you can get out of it in reg bio and honors bio because it is mandatory but you can't in AP because it's an elective class.</p>
<p>I don't think in my AP bio class I have to dissect anything, but i know from having the teacher in my BIO 15 class, that he carries around with him this corpose of a dead cat. i don't know why and he even named it Bootsie.
That's pretty scary.</p>
<p>That's pretty impressive studying all those AP's by yourself, I wanted to self study AP World this year but there was just all this family stuff got in the way and I did'nt register for it. AP US was enough and hopefully next year will be good and I can take four APs.</p>
<p>I would be in awe if you could do AP world on your own. I HATE history, I'm just bad at it. Psych is super easy and I've always been very interested in government so that was pretty easy. The bio was just more of a wanted-to-see-if-I-could-do-it type thing.</p>
<p>I really like history though-and it helps that freshman year at my school we are all required to take regional geography and history-which focuses on the history, culture of latin America, Middle East, and Southeast. I kept all my old notes too.</p>
<p>History/social studies/ and the social sciences are my strengths but I still not confident in myself. Like for example in AP Us, every time at Mid semester I had an A but because i get freaked out about writing in class essays my grade goes down. I really wish I could turn back the clock to earliar this year and make sure I registered for AP World, but oh well.</p>
<p>AP Physics
AP European History
AP Comparative Gov't
AP English Literature
AP Latin Literature
AP Latin: Virgil
AP World History</p>
<p>Calculus 3 and Symbolic Logic at NC State University</p>
<p>I'll determine self-study when my college plans get more finalized.</p>
<p>In Honors Bio, I dissected a frog. In Honors Anatomy and Physiology, I dissected an adult cat, a cow eye, and a sheep's brain.</p>
