You're going to self-study 7 AP's as a sophomore? Why? You might want to reduce that number to like 3~4, unless you're pretty confident that you are willing to get decent scores and pass the tests for all that money.</p>
<p>6--but they were relatively easy and didn't require much studying. Macroeconomics (my teacher was freaking amazing), Government & Comparative Government (i'm a big political mind), Statistics (this one I had to study hard for), European History (again, good teacher, didn't need to study to feel prepared), English Literature (winged it)</p>
<p>6, junior year.
going to take 4 senior year.</p>
<p>Honestly I'm starting to think some of us get too obsessed with AP exams. Most good schools i've seen limit the amount of credit you can receive from testing. and it doesn't seem like AP exams carry amazing weight in admissions. so really, it doesn't seem to make too much sense to take a massive load of AP's. isn't there something you're interested in, say for example philosophy, that you might want to self study some instead of an AP area to take the test? that's something you could possibly write an app essay about.</p>
<p>anyway.. i took 5 this year. total of six going into senior year.</p>
<p>Last year, two then-juniors both took something like 11-13. One's going to Princeton, and the other Duke.</p>
<p>This year, the dude that's going to Duke took 10... mostly to retake the fours... I took 7, but I know a guy who took 8 this year.</p>
<p>Next year I'm going to be taking 8-10 AP Tests . . . </p>
<p>Statistics
English Lit
Physics B
Physics C: Mechanics
Physics C: E&M
Psyhology
U.S. Government
Human Geography</p>
<p>and MAYBE Macro/Micro and English Language. O.o Probably not, though. I want to have a life.</p>
<p>Oh yea, with 8 AP's, you'll <em>definitely</em> have a life. That extra 3 just might kill it though :P</p>
<p>I took 5 last year and I totally hated it. Wound up with 2 4's and 3 5's... kinda disappointed.</p>
<p>I'm taking four tests this year (all self-study).</p>
<p>5 junior year (5 tests, 3 days; thanks to Bio/PhysB and US Govt/French Lang scheduling)</p>
<p>5 senior year (Eng Lit, CS AB, PhysC: E/M, PhysC: Mech, Comp. Govt.)</p>
<p>sophomore yr: 1 AP-APUSH 1
jr yr: 1 AP-AP Calc AB 5
this yr: im going to take 6...
