<p>Uh, whatever you do, DON'T use Kaplan for any of the Economics. That book is so defective...</p>
<p>I think I'm going to self study for the Chinese exam.</p>
<p>Well now that I got most of my self-studying done in Junior year...next year I'll probably cut myself some slack:</p>
<p>AP Chinese (I'm a native speaker, so I'm basically just curious what the test would be like)
AP Japanese (studied Japanese for 4 years)
AP Economics (if I'm bored)
AP Physics C (the last test and I'll be done with all AP sciences...depends on my time though because I'm not that good at Physics)</p>
<p>I'll probably also be taking AP Bio, AP English, and AP Gov through courses at school, so that's a healthy 7 APs for senior year.</p>
<p>Expecting to have APES, Stat and Govt independent study next year</p>
<p>I's loove to try AP Latin, but that would probably be far too difficult for self study, especially with college apps and junk to deal with.</p>
<p>All Self Study:</p>
<p>AP Music Theory (I have a very large background in music theory), AP Psych, AP Econ (probably both, it won't take very long to master the info), and maybe AP Human Geo just for kicks.</p>
<p>Looks like Physics B, one of the Cs (Our Physics C class only covers one, so I figure learn the rest of the physics curriculum while I'm at it), Bio, EnvSci, CompSci AB, Stats (All for Siemens, but my dad is a programmer that works with statistics, so hey), and then the Spanish APs (native speaker, so just grammar review).</p>
<p>Hmmm you guys seem to be doing A LOT!</p>
<p>The only think I'm self-studying for is AP music theory. Any suggestions for prep books?</p>
<p>kman..i hope ur kidding about self-studying all that lol</p>
<p>im doing AP Physics C by myself..both exams
and contemplating doing BC while i take AB in school (if uve seen my other post)</p>
<p>i was thinking physics C and maybe studio art... does anyone know how many peices you need... and do they all need to be the same medium???</p>
<p>Chemistry, Calc, Micro, and Chinese</p>
<p>I have classes for the first two, but I'm taking an extra step for the security of my grade in the class and on the test.</p>

o.O I'm self-studying AP Chem.</p>
<p>Recommend me some textbooks?
[/quote]
</p>
<p>Pick up the princeton review AP chem. Like 95% of what you need to know for the test is covered in that book.</p>
<p>If you're looking for a real chem textbook, the ones by Zumdahl and Raymond Chang are good.</p>
<p>AP Human Geography</p>
<p>AP Macro (well I'll finish studying end of this week, and then just review for it before the exam. ~took an online course so with procrastination, I didn't finish before this year's exam eek)</p>
<p>AP US History (my school doesn't offer specific history classes. its just six years of history in chronological order...not AP effective huh)</p>
<p>AP Psychology
AP Environmental Science
AP Physics B
I'm already enrolled in an honors physics class for the last one, and the first two are easy, so it shouldn't be too bad.</p>
<p>taking class: AP Cal, AP Physics C(Mech only), AP World(I'm not sure if I'm gonna take this test or not.-I hate Social Studies.)</p>
<p>self:
AP CS AB (Not sure)
AP Physics C (Electromagnetism)
AP Bio
AP Chem (Not sure)
And Introduction to Linear Algebra for placement test.</p>

PR only covers 95% of the test? Where is the other 5%?</p>
<p>There's always a chance something's not covered.</p>

<p>Well they do ask obscure questions.</p>
<p>Like the year I took AP Chem they asked this really weird free-response question on "Beer's law" which, not only is not in PR, but is only in the appendix of Chang's textbook.</p>
<p>The point of the question wasn't to see if you had studied Beer's law before (since probably no one in the country had) but rather to see if you could scientifically reason your way through it. All the info you needed to solve the problem was on the exam page.</p>
<p>I'm self-studying calc AB and BC for next year, because I have no math class my senior year due to scheduling problems.</p>
<p>I'm self-studying AP Bio, AP Comp Sci AB, AP Psych, and AP Stats
For classes I have AP Chem and the second half of APUSH</p>
<p>I'm already fluent in spanish, though I should probably get an AP Spanish Language prep book in order to get a 5. Suggestions?</p>
