Hi,

I am really interested in Ap environmental science but I may not have the time to take it. Will it be hard for me to study for it independtely while taking 3 AP at the same time, one of which is AP biology ?

ON the other hand, would I be better off studying independtely AP Us History or ap environmental science??

Thanks !

Hi,
I would say self-study Environmental science- I took AP US along with 5 other APs last year. I didn't take environmental science, but I signed up for the AP test because my chem teacher recommended it (my school has this grant program where we get paid for passing AP science exams). I read half of an AP review book before the exam and got a 5, could be because I'm pretty into the environment like you say you are. I also got a 5 on AP US but I did tons of reading during the year- I think that class requires knowing a lot more. Hope this helps!

I'm pretty sure it was Barron's- I borrowed it from the library. It seems to me that all of their review books are pretty good. If you're looking for one, I'd recommend that you choose a "name brand" with a fairly long section of chapters of information.
