Do I have enough time to study for these AP Exams?

<p>I am planning on taking the following AP exams… I need atleast a 4 on them in order to receive college credit. Basically, senioritis killed me this semester and im starting fairly late considering the amount of work I have…</p>

<p>Do I have enough time to do this? (assuming I spend about 2-3 hrs each day)</p>

<p>Stat
Gov
Microecon (self study)
Macroecon (self study)
Calc BC (self study, took AB calc last year and got a 3 on the exam…)</p>

<p>Im mostly worried about calc BC. I feel that the econ exams should be pretty easy to self study and the gov exam can be studied for the weekend before the exam.</p>

<p>For calc BC ill be using AB/BC notes that my friend gave me, review books, and study sheets…</p>

<p>Even though I dont make a 4+ on BC im hoping to make atleast a 4+ on the AB subscore so I can atleast get credit for Calc 1.</p>

<p>You only need a week max per AP test, and that’s assuming you have zero knowledge. If you have a class, AP review should be a day, and the econ tests are glorified algebra, so I’d say a week for both. Then you have BC, and you already took AB so that should take a week max, so I’d say you only need about 2 weeks. Since AP tests are about 7 weeks away, you’re fine.</p>

<p>I think a week for BC seems a little too extreme…then again econ is pretty much like one extended exam, gov is a joke and stat can be done in about a week…</p>

<p>It really depends on your senior schedule, consider if your schedule is already rigor enough or not, you want to enjoy senior year as much as you can. </p>

<p>Do you have enough time? Well urhm, I don’t know when you go to sleep, hopefully you’re not under sleep deprivation.</p>

<p>Statistics - Fine.
US Government (I’m assuming) - Fine. If it’s Comparative that may be questionable because it’s pretty much like US, but usually applying to that and every other government in the world. Macroeconomics - Fine.
Microeconomics - Fine.
Calculus BC - I am going to say no to this one, this is because it is exactly like AB, just with 2 added chapters I believe? It is honestly already impressive enough, even with a 3 you can still gain access to a lot of colleges to get their credit for at least 1 semester.</p>

<p>My 2nd semester schedule is a joke… taking 2 electives and 2 of the easiest AP’s that my school offers</p>

<p>Im just worried about not getting enough sleep/getting lazy… </p>

<p>Well honestly for a senior the most you can really do is just get credits from the AP Exams at most, because you’re most likely knowing what school you are going to next year or in the process of it. I would do this honestly because college classes can be quite, expensive. Possibly even at a community college.</p>

<p>I would do it, why not, but if I have nothing else to do or if I really need to credits - otherwise in your case I would get way more sleep! :)</p>

<p>I have no idea what college major you’ll be undertaking / which credits will be most helpful~
Try on Calculus BC as the leap from AB to BC can be quickly learned (depending on the person).
Euler’s method, parametrics/vectors, L’hopital’s rule, and arc length is something you can start at because they are basically something you can stick in your memory for free AP exam points on the BC section.
Integration techniques and series aren’t too much to cover if you tackle 1 item a day.
~But most important is to have the solid framework gained in Calculus AB / the concepts which will be most valuable to succeeding on exam problems and your future Calculus based classes! Ex: How real life situations can be modeled as integrals etc.</p>

<p>@elefish92 With the book we use at my school, BC is literally one more chapter (just lots of series work)</p>

<p>As for OP, I would suggest starting now, if you still want to get 4+ on each</p>
