  Whoa, take it easy there! Take one step at a time. In general, with Calculus, a book with lots of problems is good-- Princeton Review is pretty good for this. For AP Macro, Barron's is OK. I don't see any need to self-study for AP exams that your school doesn't offer. Focus your time on doing the best you possibly can with the AP exams and classes that you are in. That's going to be what ultimately counts (your high school class grades, not even so much the AP exam score as long as it is a 4 or 5). If you must self study, I would go with Psych or Micro. Doing a history subject is a massive undertaking without a class. Best of luck,
