What AP subject(s) are you self-studying for next year?

<p>Im self studying psychology. and taking courses in econ, calc bc, spanish lang, comp sci, english lit, and physics.</p>

<p>i would self study more, but they cost me 82 dollars a piece. thats a lot of money.</p>

<p>Don't be cheap lol.</p>

<p>I am planning on self-studying, AP Pysch, AP World History, AP Environmental and AP U.S. politics and government. :) I am going to have quite a busy summer!</p>

<p>Lol , the state of Minnesota subidize the AP Exam so I have to pay only $22 each whether you're rich, middle class, or poor!</p>

<p>Ilovesoftball44- Although Psych, Environmental, and gov't/poly are very manageable, I recommend getting a teacher for World History - not that any of us are incapable of teaching the material to ourselves... Although it's nice to learn from such a consolidated sources like PR and Kaplan, in a subject like World History, it is much more satisfying to have a teacher run through the AP curriculum, and some extra stuff he/she feels is important.</p>

<p>Fhimas88888888 - I see where you are coming from, I took world history freshman and sophmore year and did well and I also took the SAT II World History which I feel I did well. I adore history so self-studying would be fun for me and any questions I have I can ask my world history teacher, who recommended that I self-study AP World History. Also if worst comes to worst and I don't feel like it is working out its not like i am forced to take it.</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 don't know HTML, so that was my way of quoting what someone said)</p>

<p>We covered Beer's Law in my AP chem class. We did multiple labs with it, actually. Part of our lab practical at the end of the year (which my teacher does every year) involved it, so I guess some people knew it.</p>

<p>And to anyone who plans to self-study APUSH, DO NOT USE THE CLIFFS NOTES BOOK. I got it to help review for the AP 'cause I was kinda weak in that class, and it was the biggest waste of 16 dollars ever. Go for the Princeton Review, I borrowed that from a friend when I realized how bad my book was. It's way better.</p>

<p>Okay, that makes sense.</p>

<p>Classes: APUSH, AP English Lit, Language, AP BC Calc, AP Physics C (both) </p>

<p>Self:
AP Geo,
AP Comparative Gov
AP Psych (Might take class)
Either AP Euro or AP Chem</p>

<p>I'm also doing one other easy one. That way I'll have more than ten in a year. I'm probably going to take online classes for 2-3 of the self studies.</p>

<p>if u wanna self study ap world just get barrons. its like a textbook in itself and its very detailed.</p>

<p>Chickenboi8008- I was on the Barnes and Noble website and they reviewed the Barrons AP World History book and gave it a horrible review, so I bought the princeton review one instead, which do you think has questions that are most similar to the AP exam?</p>

<p>any suggestions for the online classes to take for self-study subjects?</p>

<p>I finished all the self-study APs I was planing this year, so no more of them next time.</p>

<p>I started self-studying BC with Stewart's Single Variable Calculus textbook. I have no prior knowledge of calculus. What supplemental materials should I use?</p>

<p>apex for online self studying. </p>

<p>lil_killer - I really don't feel like you need anything more than the prep books. Through my research of amazon.com reviews of calc prep books, Peteresons is the best.</p>

<p>No AP self-studying for next year! I salready did all my self-studying this year. Hopefully I did well on them. <em>crosses fingers</em></p>

<p>Blah...I'm self-studying ap french literature, and taking an ap french language course...so yeah, this means all normal class work plus about 7 books to read all in French, with no review books...fun, fun, fun</p>

<p>AP chem, never self-studied before... any advice... and if anyone out there has self-studied for chem... what score did u get?</p>

<p>I looked at Apex, but they require 15 hours of work a week. Is that overstated? </p>

<p>If not, what APs are the easiest to study independently?
I'm know AP geo and psych, but what about comparative gov?</p>

<p>AP European History, AP Art History, AP Macroeconomics and AP Microeconomics, and AP Psychology are definite self-studies.</p>

<p>AP Human Geography and AP Environmental Science are possibilities.</p>

<p>AP Computer Science AB while I take AP Computer Science A.</p>
