The Most USEFUL AP Classes

“But unlike him, I assume you wanna have a life in high school”
My man said that so casually 😂

If you’re going into some science field where you have to take chemistry, please take AP chem. This class helped me out SO MUCH in college and I highly recommend taking it.

At the school I go to, AP Gov was actually required and most people took it either in freshmen year or sophomore year. The year I took it was during the 2020 elections so we got to learn firsthand about election cycles and how it plays out. One of our assignments was to watch the presidential debate and fill out a sheet about it, needless to say we had a long discussion about it the next day

Even taking AP Calc AB and not BC in High School will help you tremendously in college. If you can pass AP Calc, you have better chances of passing calc 1-3 in college.

“I assume you wanna have a life in high school” LMAO

Both Econ classes have been amazing for me most useful classes I've ever taken. Altho I've only taken 5 APs up to this point

Psychology and Economics are truly useful for life

[haileyrobins]

I really liked AP lang this year. It’s helped me develop my voice. It’s been really awesome. Sure I might not pass, but hey, I found a voice through this. It is so liberating

I’d recommend AP Psychology as number 5. It fulfills a general education requirement in some way shape or form at most universities. It’s also very doable, it mostly just entails terming things that most people do subconsciously throughout their lives, and a bit of history behind different psychological theories. AP Economics would probably be my number 6 for similar reasons.

“Lang teaches you how to write well, analyze effectively, and argue”
No it doesn’t, the teacher does. If your teacher is good you’ll learn these things. I on the other hand (and everyone else in AP lang at my high school) have not learned anything in that class. Our teacher sucks so bad.

I'm an AP Lang and Gov survivor and i can 100% say that they were some of the best courses I took. 10/10 would recommend

[agirlwithablog]

Also, take your AP languages because colleges also have language requirements and it could save you 2-4 classes

[Silvrleaf]

As a current AP Gov student, I can assure you that no class is more useful than AP Econ, and you should definitely take it if your school forces you to choose one.

I’m not even a year out of AP Lang and im already drawing on the skills I learned in that class almost every day. The class is the most useful I’ve ever taken

[lupinxavierweasleykenobi]

That’s good! I’m already planning on taking these AP classes so it’s nice to get confirmation from him

[fscherman]

The most useful for me were AP Calc BC, AP Lang, and AP CS A. I'm doing a CS degree so getting Calc I and II knocked out was great, and CS A also knocked out the first year requirements for CS at my school. Stats didn't actually help because my school does not allow any AP scores to count for upper division classes, and the stats class I have to take is upper division, but I've heard that AP Stats does make it a breeze.

As an incoming senior, I've only taken 2 APs and I'm planning on taking just one more. My biggest advice is to take classes that you are interested in and relate to your path in life rather than ones you think will look pretty for colleges. Yes it is good to challenge yourself, but there is so much more to life than 24/7 stressing because you loaded up your whole schedule with APs.

[kayloo]

stats and lang were by far my most helpful ap's - they also made sense. what academics really are is just understanding how to understand stuff, and stats and lang definitely did that .

[archivebyren]

took all these my junior year, highly recommend

[mileskim]

Funny thing because when I'm watching the short right now, 3 out of the 4 AP classes I'm taking are mentioned in this video and the 4th one, instead of AP Calculus AB, I'm actually taking AP Calculus BC.
