i got ap autism which is the opposite of ap psych

How on earth does AP Bio teach you how to diagnose sicknesses…90% of the class is on the cellular level

AP gov or AP us history + AP lang are the most useful, next to any other ones. Saves you money in college. Take any other AP classes that will be relevant to your gen eds. AP physics or any AP math classes if you're in stem.

Please, for your own sake, don’t diagnose your own sicknesses with just a general biology class… unless you’re just having cold symptoms but you don’t need a general biology class for that.

You take ap class for college, it’s knocks out credit you need to get for general education. if you take 5 ap class from high school, you graduate 1 semester faster which means money saved

everybody talks about AP but nobody ever talks about IB ☹️☹️

[ThatGuyWithNoLife]

AP Computer science Principles/A was amazing

[zerowantscoffee]

it also depends on what you major in college

Tell me why i, a brit who's education system works so differently you can barely even make a comparison, am watching this video.

Id have to say AP Seminar is the most useful ap ive taken so far, its taught me so much on essay writing, researching, and presenting, which is crucial for college or careers. Im taking Ap psychology too, and its so interesting to really understand how the mind works. I always catch myself doing things like hindsight bias and heuristics, i love applying the concepts in real world situations, but i feel its not as important as ap seminar

[SillyDragonFly]

I plan to take like 3/5 of those, I'm taking AP US History right now, since I"m a freshman and that's the only ap class my school offers for us

[randomhuman]

I hear people at my school say economics is the best and most useful because if you don’t go to college it prepares you for how to pay taxes and bills and how to use your money, and it’s also useful if you wanna buy a house or car

AP Micro is not a finance class. It doesn’t teach money skills. What does she mean?

[SMFlexxx]

AP Calc BC. Most useful one I took, and I took 13.

[sammyahmed]

As someone who took all of these classes none of this is true lol

[aidancoleman]

I guess it depends what you take away from the class.

Ap Micro/Macroeconomics was probably the most useful for me in terms of understanding and interpreting the general economy, allowing me to be much better fiscally

Ap Statistics was a great class that taught me a lot outside of the content of the course. The central limit theorem applies in pretty much all aspects of life allowing me to look for and pick out patterns in large samples of volatile individuals

And finally Ap Physics (any of them really bust most specifically for me electrostatics and magnetism) Again, not because of the content but that course ruthlessly taught and honed my decision-making and problem-solving skill sets.

The moral is all of these courses can teach you practical skills outside of the content if you are open minded to it

[bertenheimer]

Yo AP Psych does not tell you how to “read other people.” That’s one of the silliest things I’ve ever learned. It mostly goes over basic natural mental processes and a base level understanding of other people on a more general level. There is no AP class for mental manipulation or social skills 😭

[twistedelixir]

Depends on your intended major really. STEM people, take AP Calc AB if nothing else (BC is only useful if you are going into math or engineering). Saves you a lot of time and can help in other subjects. Also helpful for upper level economics.

My school doesn’t have AP bio or AP chem I wish I could have taken those

[DogLover-kgtn]

You know I'm really glad my program can get me my associates degree before I enter college, without having to take a bunch of AP courses, granted my credits will only transfer over to in-state colleges
