Hi guys!
I need advice on which AP is easiest to self study so that I could get a 4 or a 5 ? I need to do a History & Social Science AP and I heard from some people to take AP Macroeconomics, AP Microeconomics or AP Psychology. I already took APUSH and didn’t do well in it at all and I don’t plan on retaking it. Please help on which AP exam to take and if you could tell me some really helpful websites or books that would be amazing! Thank you guys so much!

I’m not sure about history APs for self-studying, but an easy one (probably the easiest one) is AP Environmental Science. Honestly I procrastinated and started seriously studying the weekend before the test (not something anyone should do), but I still got a 4. Also I’m not one of those geniuses you would usually find here on CC. I would recommend PR for this test.
But if you seriously need a social science, AP Psych is definitely a popular self-study. Not sure on what book or resources though.
My impression of AP Psych was that it felt like one huge vocabulary test. It’s essentially a lot of memorization, but I found the material engaging enough to be both interesting and satisfying. I would recommend a mix of the Princeton Review book and Barron’s flashcards.
Comparative Government!!! I self studied this as a sophmore this year and I got a 5 using ethyl woods book she’s amazing get her review book and read through, then study all the vocab and you will get a 5
AP Macro is easy and interesting. I self studied it this year and got a 5. I recommend it, it`s really fun if you like economics!!!
