That depends on your school. My high school weighted A.P. courses so that an A in an AP course was worth 5 gpa points and an A in a regular course was worth 4. If it's possible to take exclusively AP courses your senior year, I guess you could try for a 5.0, but keep in mind that the rankings for valedictorian measure total gpa over all four years.

That all depends on the person and what they want to do. You can take lots of AP classes and get college credit or you can be safe and get 100's in easy classes and maybe become valedictorian. However hard you're planning to work this year is up to you.

Well since AP classes are typically harder than normal high school classes, you're more likely to get a bad grade in an AP class than you are otherwise, which would hurt your chances of becoming valedictorian. So actually you shouldn't take any AP classes unless you feel able to keep up a good grade in them.

GPA is all that matters, if you're in the top of your class, take as many as you can. And make sure you get A's in all those AP courses.

it doesnt matter what classes you take, you just need the highest Grade Point Average (GPA) in your class, usually a 4.0 but if you wanna get into a good college dont take "slacker classes" just to keep a 4.0 because colleges look at the tpe of classes you took too!
