Minimum time needed to self-study AP Bio, AP Chem, AP Calc BC

<p>To the point, is it possible to study 2 of those 3 in 4 months and get a 4+? How about 1 of the sciences and a 3+ on the Calc BC? Which one is the hardest in your opinion?</p>

<p>Calc BC is by far the hardest, then chem then bio</p>

<p>It depends on what you mean by self-study. Do you want to know all of the information or get a high score on the exam.
If you just want the score, then maybe 3 months each and learn just the very basics.
If you want to learn the material then you need minimally 6 months.</p>

<p>4 months is a bit of crunch for all of those APs. Bio has a lot of content, and Chem and Calc both require a lot of problem solving. Calc BC is difficult to self-study, especially if you have not taken a calculus course in school.</p>

<p>Did you take AB? BC is not as hard if you took AB and did well on the AB exam.</p>

<p>If you are going to school while you are studying, it will be very difficult. Lots of facts without numbers in both Chemistry and Biology.</p>

<p>I would say BC and Chemistry would be your best best, if you must, IF you already took at least calculus, preferably AB already.</p>

<p>You should really just start prepping now.
AP Bio is still a very content heavy course despite the course change in 2013. Unless you have a mighty memory, it will take you a great deal of time to remember all the information needed.
AP Chem and BC are both very concept and problem oriented course. If you are doing BC, I will presume you have already completed AB. If you feel you can easily grasp the concepts taught and be able solve the problems with ease, you will be fine.
If not, be prepared to invest in a equally great figure of time.</p>

<p>I would be able to put in 2 hours a day for both bio and chem.(2 hours each) Also, environmental science and chemistry are on the same date and time so I could take one late to give me a little more time to study since I’m taking both.</p>

<p>That sounds reasonable. Are you okay with BC? (Have you taken AB, and if so, what was your mark?).
Be warned: Though it is not the most important AP, don’t hold off environmental if you want a 5. It has one of the toughest curves in AP exams because too many students underestimate the course.</p>
