<p>Do you think it would be possible to self study for 4 AP courses while also taking 4 AP classes, and also what books are good for the self study ones ( I was thinking Barrons)? The classes would be:
AP Classes:
English Language
Biology
Computer Science A
United States History
Self-Study:
Computer Sciences AB
Statistics
Macroeconomics
Microeconomics
Thanks for the help ahead of time.</p>
<p>Nothing is impossible. It is very possible. Just be warned though, you are going to have to put some time and effort to get 5’s on all of them.</p>
<p>Computer Science AB: Barron’s (This is the ONLY book that is good for it imo)
Statistics: Barron’s (This is an AWESOME book)</p>
<p>I think my comments were worthless, but that is my valid opinion on those prep books for those tests. As for the econs, I can’t really recommend.</p>
<p>For the econs, I would go with PR + Barrons. Both books contain micro and macro, but I think they work well together, emphasizing the right concepts. Definitely a great combination, especially for self-study, and will help you be on your way to getting 5’s.</p>
<p>Doable, though taking Bio and History together might not be the best choice. What grade level are you in now?</p>
<p>I am going to be a Junior next year I have to take APUSH because that is the next class for me otherwise I would have to drop to regents =X And I am taking Bio because I already had a high average in Honors (98 unweighted 101 weighted) and I know the teacher so I don’t think that would be a problem. But you guys do know better than me. Thanks for the answers.</p>
<p>Bio and US History are both reading-intensive. Since you have another year, couldn’t you move bio to senior year?</p>
<p>I think APUSH and Bio are definitely doable in the same year, but you’ll have to work really hard. Both are very memorization-based classes, and that’s a LOT of information to memorize in a single year. It would be better to spread the two across two years, but you could do it if you worked hard.</p>
<p>I would but I can’t because in senior year I am taking AP Chem., AP Physics, AP English Lit, AP World,AP Spanish, AP Calc and along with my other classes I already have a 10 period day. Plus next year is the AP Bio teachers last year and I really want him for my teacher because he makes it really easy to understand.</p>
<p>I know how you feel. I took AP Biology the last year my teacher was teaching it. I’m glad I did because he ROCKED.</p>
<p>All the best luck to your endeavor of US History and Biology. I’m sure you can do it.</p>
<p>Wait how would you take CS A and do the AB exam as well? In our school they were held at the same time, in the same place, separated by one row of empty chairs.</p>
<p>I am going to talk with my AP coordinator so hopefully they will let me take them both i think you just take a late exam if they are at the same time though.</p>
<p>Yeah, sometimes the teacher does make all the difference. Since you really want your current Bio teacher, go for it!</p>
<p>If it doesn’t work as well as you like during the year, you could always drop one or two of your self-studies and still keep your schedule very rigorous.</p>
<p>EDIT: You can’t take A and AB exam the same year (I read it somewhere on collegeboard). Take the A class in school, self-study AB, and take the AB exam. AB covers A too.</p>
<p>hey dssp2010 thats a lot of work…4 ap courses and 4 self-study!!!</p>
<p>Don’t you think you can do better on 4 if u just focused on them??</p>
<p>Does anybody have any studying tips for the AP Computer Science A exam? I am sooo confused right now!!</p>
