Which AP should I self-study?

Hello there. I am an ambitious sophomore who wants to tackle an independent study AP. Two of the only non-foreign language APs that my school does not offer are AP Comparative Government and AP Environmental Science (they don't offer Physics C, either, but I'm not insane enough to try that one by myself). I plan on doing this next summer or during the school year, as my current summer slate is full. So, which course would you recommend? Which review books would you suggest using? And how hard was the exam for you? Thank you very much.

AP Psychology is quite easy to self-study. It's mostly memorization of terms and facts. I used 5 steps to a 5 and it was effective.

Hawkphoenix, I would appreciate it if you read the thread better. My school offers AP Psychology, so I do not plan to self-study it. As stated above, I would like help in choosing between AP Comparative Government and AP European History.

Good luck with AP Euro. Unless you have memorization skills comparable to einstein there is not chance you will pass this test. Too long of a time period to cover in one month--let alone one week.

Oh, crap, my fault. I put AP Euro when I meant to put AP Enviro. Great, I feel like a hypocrite.

I say Ap psychology Ap human geo or Ap environmental .. those are the easiest Ap exams

And just a P.s Most of the Ap historys are hard to self study and usually hard in general so try not to get an attitude when we give u other options.
