I took AP econ (year course) mainly because i am horrible at programing. You learn quite a bit and our teacher made it a fun class (plus a few of my friends took it with me). The AP Macro/Micro tests are not too hard either.
Having limits on AP classes seems stupid. I have taken 2-4 AP classes a year from sophomore to senior, an i know some people that have taken 3-5 a year and done fine. I dont see why they should be allowed to limit it (especially with all the potential money you could save).
If you really, really enjoy CS and are good at programing, take Econ, and get some AP CS books and teach yourself. That way tou can take both tests while only taking one class.
