Self Study???

This past year I took AP Statistics and i got a 5. This year I am taking AP Calculus AB, APUSH, and AP Economics.

I want to do one self study because I am working to achieve AP Scholars with Distinction. Can anyone recommend classes that are very easy to study on your own.

I was thinking maybe AP Psych, AP Computer Science?, or AP American Government...
help please.

AP Psych or AP Govt

AP Computer Science is not easy to self-study because sometimes you need someone to look over your code. It takes forever to find out what went wrong if you're doing it all by yourself.

AP Psych is one of the easiest exams to study for. Even if you don't get a legit textbook, you can probably use Barrons and end up with a 4 or 5.

You don't need a textbook or Barron's to study for Psych. Just use PR.

Barrons is by far the best guide to use for Psych.

honestly, it is incredible to me how easy the AP microeconomics test was.

If you're taking AP macroeconomics, enjoy the class at all, and want to get more college credit... buy princeton's econ book and study for micro. I didn't even study that much and got 5.
