Which APs should I self-study?

<p>So I'm thinking of self-studying these AP exams:</p>

<p>Calc AB, Comp Gov, European History, Microeconomics, World History, or US History</p>

<p>I'm planning to take 4 in May in addition to some of the APs I've listed above: English Lit, Statistics, Environmental Science, Macroeconomics, and US Gov. </p>

<p>So I was thinking of self-studying (Euro OR World OR US), Comp Gov, and Calc. So in an ideal world, I would want to take all these exams, but I'm worried about a few things. </p>

<p>Worry #1: I want to self study one of the histories (Euro, US, World) but I'm worried about the free response section since I'm not great at writing DBQs, and I'm wondering how hard it would be to get good at writing those essays. I have no problem reading for the multiple choice, I'm just worried about the essays. </p>

<p>Worry #2: If I'm taking the Macroeconomics class, would I need to spend a lot time on Microecon? I heard that the two overlap, and there's not much new content. Will I need to spend a lot of time studying for Microecon?</p>

<p>Worry #3: I've heard that Comp Gov is easy. Is that true? I'm taking US Gov right now and it's not that challenging to me. Will I need to spend a lot of time studying for that test?</p>

<p>Worry #4: I'm thinking of taking Math 3A at the local community college. If I do so, will that adequately prepare me for the AP exam? Has anyone done anything like this before?</p>

<p>If you've taken these tests, let me know what you think about them, how you studied for them, how easy it was, etc. I do not plan to take ALL of these exams that I suggested, but
maybe 2 or 3 of them. Let me know which 3 would be the best and easiest to self study for. Thanks guys.</p>

<p>Which ones do your prospective colleges give credit for?</p>

<p>All of my prospective colleges will give credit for these APs, so that’s not a problem.</p>
