okay so I am a sophomore atm and I only took 1 AP test this year because I was unaware of “self-studying.” I would like to get the AP Scholar award for 8 tests next year if possible. In order to do this I will have to self study 4 courses…3 at the least. I was considering:
AP Comp. Gov’t
AP US Gov’t
choosing between
AP Env. Science
AP Psych
AP Human Geo
Should I start at least 1 of them over the summer? I have a lot of prior knowledge in US Gov so I could wait till January I bet. Maybe I could get a head start on 2 tests? Any help is appreciated, =)
