<p>Hey guys I've been doing some research on self-studying AP classes for next year and I have some questions.
Most importantly, how good does it look for colleges when they see that I self-studied 3-5 AP classes while taking 5 in school? I don't want to put in numerous hours of work if it isn't going to look good.(I don't really care about the college credits). This is assuming I get 5s or 4s on the exams.
Secondly, I'm thinking about self-studying AP environmental, AP Human Geo, AP Comp Gov, AP World History, and AP Bio. Do you guys think these are good classes to self study? I've heard some differing opinions about world history and bio, and would love your input(( I received a 96 in Honors Biology last year, does this make it easier or..?)). Which should I take out?</p>

<p>Lastly, do you guys have any other advice?</p>

I would only self study if YOU are genuinely interested in learning the material. Trying to force yourself to memorize Bio hormones or APWH time periods or whatever isn’t going to be worth your time, not to mention being 10x harder than if you had an interest for the subject.</p>
