<p>What’s the easiest AP test to study for? My school doesn’t offer many AP classes, and I want to graduate with more that 3 AP tests taken. Is it worth it to study for one more?</p>
<p>Human geography. Unless you’re a native french/german/spanish/chinese/italian speaker</p>
<p>It also depends on what grade you’re in. It’s not worth it to do it senior year.</p>
<p>i self-studied for ap calc ab and thought it was easy…i got a 5. the material is easy and the ap grading scale is a joke, so it makes for an easy self study</p>
<p>US Government is really easy. I guess it would help to get a textbook, but most of the information you need to know can just be found in Princeton Review’s study guide. It’s also more likely to get you college credit than Human Geography.</p>
<p>why wouldn’t it be worth it to self-study senior yr
if you do well that will transfer over as credit so you can get out of some classes that you would have otherwise have had to take in college</p>
<p>
I think senior year is the best year to do it, unless AP scores are your main hook for colleges. If you do good, you’ll get a college credit or nice placement, if you fail - to hell with it, you dont need to worry about bad scores affecting your chances and stuff like that.
Not on all the tests. Calc tests are the most generous - you only need around 55-60% to get a 5. The curve is tougher on the others, like a 5 in USH is around 75-80% on MC with decent to good essays.</p>
<p>I strongly suggest searching the forum before you post a topic - I already asked this question and there are four pages of commentary.</p>

<p>Yeah, you should definitely search the forums, as this question gets asked like twice a week.</p>
<p>I think, though, most people would say human geography, psychology, the government mentioned above… it also depends on what you excel at. If you are naturally good with English, you might want to try the languages (lit and comp), or if you are a native speaker… so on…</p>
<p>I found microecon ridiculously easy, but I imagine some people wouldn’t. It takes a certain type of thinking, and I was helped by the fact that one of my parents is an economist (so it’s been drilled into my head for years.) You might want to give it a try, though, because if you have a general grasp of that mindset, the material is a breeze. If it seems like pure common sense to you, it probably is.</p>
