<p>I'm leaning towards at least three, but for next year, so I can do two over the summer, and one during the year?</p>
<p>Comparative Government
U.S. Gov and Politics
Euro History
Human Geography (easy?)
Psychology (easy?)</p>
<p>I heard human geography was an easy one
I’d recommand Psych and Environmental</p>
<p>Ok thanks! I’m looking into them :)</p>
<p>I would say to study Environmental Science above all others, then Human Geography, then Psychology. I’m self-studying APES and APHG and they aren’t very hard. I think it would be fair to say that I have learned more self-studying than in any class I’ve ever taken.</p>
<p>Contrary to popular CC attitude (from what I have seen), I recommend NOT taking an AP test as a freshman.</p>
<p>If you are currently a freshman, ignore my post.</p>
<p>I say this for a couple of reasons. It’s your freshmen year! With that, I should say everything. Freshman year is arguably one of the easiest years (aside from senior year) and, from my opinion, a sandbox. You can see what you like and what you don’t like for the most part, what works and what doesn’t, so you can plan for next year. You can participate in clubs without worrying.</p>
<p>If you have never had any experience in any of those subjects, I recommend dropping the notion and reconsidering it spring semester. Right now I am planning five AP tests (3 self study) for my sophomore year. The ones I am planning to take I have at least a slight background in (except for one) and this background will make a world of difference. Freshman year, teachers will also introduce you to a variety of note-taking devices, you can pick the one that works the best for you.</p>
<p>If you are a freshman:</p>
<p>I don’t have much to say except that I am taking a non-AP geography course, and it is very manageable. It lacks some locations and subject ideas, but I can easily make those up with a prep book.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t really say 2 AP self-studies (especially the two considered to be the easiest) are too hard for a freshman. I mean is there really that much difference between taking them Sophomore year and taking them Freshman year? Looking back, I wish I did some self-studies myself as a Freshman since I now have to take at least 4 self-studies as a Junior for a chance at the National AP Scholar recognition.</p>
<p>I agree with acehero8. If you really have the patience and willpower to self study an ap, then there is no reason to wait. I honestly didn’t learn anything my freshman year. It’s probably just my school, but still. Freshman classes are a waste of time. Given that, you would learn so much self-studying. Go for it.</p>
<p>At my school, 99% of freshmen are put into AP Human Geography; it’s extremely simple, so I see no reason you couldn’t do it.</p>
<p>AP Psychology is one of the easier exams to self-study for. AP Environmental Science sounds pretty easy, but I haven’t heard too much about it.</p>
<p>I’m in 8th grade now, and I’m bored in school, so I am trying to set a new goal. It sounded like something that I can still do in summer/fresh year that not too many people do. I’m choosing ones that aren’t offered at my school. I’m kind of familiar with us gov, and I want to be a lawyer, so I’m planning on doing that, and the two easiest (from what I’ve heard Human Geo, Psychology). I’ll prob study env. sci. in soph with biology (cause we have physics first), and Comp gov along with maybe euro and the history one offered in school. Then, I’ll just take school ones, possibly one more</p>
<p>Edit: microeconomics not euro, marcoecomnomics, not stat</p>
<p>AP Human Geography is probably the easiest. Cross Euro off your list for sure. You’ll be eaten alive.</p>
<p>If you’re serious about putting in the needed work, I would suggest AP Human Geography and AP World History.</p>
<p>We have World History soph year unless we take the English-History companion course</p>
<p>AP psych is probably the easiest. if you’re good with remembering things, it won’t be a problem at all.</p>
<p>I’d recommend leaving AP World History for taking in school, not self-studying. It’s a very thorough and in-depth course with more than just facts: relations, effects, impacts, and more. It’s hard to understand from just reading a book. You’re better off in a classroom where you can listen to lectures and ask questions.</p>
<p>Hmm…thanks.
I picked up a AP US Gov and Politics book today becuase it sounds the most intresting to me, despite being harder (?). Barrons seems too easy though? We learned most of this stuff this year… I’ll probably get the cliffnotes</p>
<p>Then I’ll probably Ap Psych/Ap Human Geo later</p>
<p>thank you all! :)</p>
