Which AP Classes Should You Take?

[runningnlife]

Remember that you have A LOT of basics anyway. AP English AP history AP bio and AP chem as well as either AP calculus will net you a lot of skipped credit hours.

Principles was a perquisite for A at my school

[abbynick]

My school has barely any AP classes and no AP foreign languages. There is also not many dual enrollment classes offered to us as well. It’s kinda sad but we aren’t that big of a school so it kinda makes sense.

[gladesucks]

Don’t take AP, take dual credit. Dual credit has significantly less work involved and you just have to pass to get the college credit.

My number one regret in high school was taking AP and watching how easy my friends had it, only for us all to get the same credits

I disagree with taking Calc BC AP exam. I would take the class to prepare for college, but getting a 5 in BC does not mean you are adequate enough to take Calc 3 after. Many people i know failed calc 3 as BC is not equivalent to a professor teaching Calc 2 or even 1. May cost extra in credits, but the transition is easier. Take BC, dont take exam. If that is too fast paced just take AB

I actually don’t recommend using your AP credit for courses relating to your major, at least from my experience. Taking some starter courses so you know what you’re getting into is good, but absolutely get any and all core curriculum in your state out of the way, it’ll be a lifesaver.

Intended chem major. Junior year (finishing now): chem, calc ab, psych. Senior year: physics 1, calc bc, gov and macro, comp sci principles, dual enroll enc 1101 & 1102

[NJMgolf]

Yes, but consider that if you are planning on applying to some kind of graduate program, and therefore need to maintain a high GPA, it might be better to take those classes that you already have a solid base of knowledge and get some easy As while making the transition from high school to college a bit easier

[clashmustache]

as someone who who’s going to the medical field I am taking AP CSP, AP human Geogrpahy, AP Calc BC, AP Stats, AP World History, AP Physics 1, AP English Language, AP Spanish Language and Culture, AP Chemistry, APUSH, AP Biology, AP Anatomy and Physiology, AP Psycology, AP Environmental Science, AP Lit, AP Spanish Lit and Culture

The end

[stevenpho]

hot take: I feel like ap classes are too slow and the only difficult thing (apart from the exam) are the in class tests and quizzes (I have enough time to finish them in a given time limit, they were also not that hard)

[Novacreeper]

me when I want to major in engineering but my school wouldn't offer physics C until after I graduate and they wouldn't make Calculus BC a class despite >10 people signing up for it

[kwworrell]

What if I’m a music major and my school doesn’t offer AP music theory? It does offer DE music history however.

[jerrykod]

"dont take three years of spanish and then quit right before AP, thats stupid" f**k me

[jewonnam]

I'm going accounting major and I took ap us gov, apes, ap calc ab. i got 13 college credits total, so take ap exams that are an elective class so you save money and time

[Guy_Sa]

My school blocked be from taking A because I didn't finish Algebra 2. I am taking 2/precalc next year.
I signed up for a community collage course that does C++. Only requires pre algebra

[PokeTube]

My school doesn’t offer Comp Sci. A or Principles, what should I do???

[scottishbananaclan]

Dont take APs. Take dual enrollment with your local community college. There isnt a signal metric that AP beats dual enrollent in

[JevonChen]

My high school hardly got any AP and don’t have the other program either

[glogue]

me chillin with a school that offers only apush (i want to be an engineer)

[absolutezerochill]

College is going to be free for me though
... so idk if Calc BC is a good idea junior year.
