Self-Studying APs: I Need Your Opinion

All right, so here’s the deal.
I’m currently a senior in high school, taking five AP classes:

AP French Language
AP English Literature and Composition
AP Biology
AP Physics B
AP Calculus BC

I have never self-studied an AP exam before, but I want to go above and beyond this year for application reasons and to receive college credit for doing so. Given my already loaded schedule, would it be possible to self-study AND receive 5’s on the following exams, on my own time?

AP Microeconomics
AP Computer Science A (I have no programming experience)
AP Statistics
AP Psychology

Any input from anyone who has taken any of these exams, or the aforementioned ones would be extremely helpful! Even advice from fellow self-studiers would help tremendously! Thanks!
