AP European History, AP US History, AP Biology, AP Literature and Composition, AP Psychology, AP Macroeconomics, AP Microeconomics, and possible AP Calculus AB. I know Clemson offers a higher level course for getting a 3 on the AP exam for ALL of these courses. If I go to a school like Clemson that allows you to skip courses for a lenient 3 or higher on I believe all AP courses offered, how will I do, can I finish my 4 year tenure sooner?

It looks like Clemson accepts all scores of 3 or higher:

As a high school student balancing difficult classes, I think you will find college more of the same, if not a bit easier. Your challenge will be different, it will now involve managing more of your time and staying motivated.
You can finish early, if you select a degree program early and continue within that program. If you change majors, depending on how drastic the change is (like math to music), it could take you the full four years or possibly longer. It also depends on when you change, the longer you wait to change the more time it takes to finish. That said, you should find that a lot of these classes can be applied toward your General Education requirements and therefore can begin working toward your major as soon as you start college. Congratulations.

Most of the time, they just allow you to take a higher class, not skip a class entirely. However, sometimes that is the case, in which each school is different in how many credits they offer for AP tests. I would go to the Clemson website and look at their AP standards.

If you make a 3 or higher on ALL of those AP Exams, then you would probably start college off as a 2nd year or a sophomore, depending on how the college you are going to counts hours. But thats a lot of hard work, making 3's or higher on all of those tests...but hey good luck to you!

my college didn't take anything less than a 4 on anything... plus some schools don't take both AP Lit and Composition. You should look into that before taking the second exam.
If you get credit for all those you'll have a good start on Gen Eds and be able to graduate early if you choose classes wisely (and can get into them)

It depends on what type of college you go to. i am going to a CSU and i am finding only one course to be hard. and it is a subject that i have never been good in. College, at least the GE, is a lot like high school. some of my courses are actually easier that high school. and i was AP, honors, and GATE my whole life. i took AP: Chem, Calc AB/BC, US history, American Govt, lit and comp, lang and comp. and i didn't pass all of them. it really depends on the caliber of the college you are going to. if it is a CSU, no worries, a UC, a bit more challenging but not impossible. hope it helps....

Just as an example, at Williams College you can jump ahead into higher level courses (may require a test), but you still have to take the same number of courses and credits as everyone else. ie You don't graduate early.
