It depends a lot on what you want to study in college.

The main thing that AP classes do for you is to help you get college credit. I, for example, took several AP classes in high school, which helped me to get college credit. There's a catch, though: unless the AP course that you take specifically fulfills a requirement for your college major, it might not help you get to graduation any faster in college. In other words, you might have a credit on your transcript, but it might not help you to actually fulfill any major requirements.

It seems to me, then, that the best AP courses to take would be ones that would actually help you to fulfill major requirements in college. I don' t know if you have a major in mind already, but if you do, choose an AP course that will work for that. For example, if you want to study Biology in college, take AP Biology because it will probably replace an Intro to Biology course that you would have to take later.

If you don't know what major you want to study in college (and there's no reason that you should know that now), choose AP classes that are likely to fulfill general-education requirements. AP English, for example, probably fulfills writing courses at a lot of universities.

If you have in mind a particular college or university that you would like to go to, talk to an advisor at that institution and ask him/her which AP classes are likely to fulfill requirements at that institution.

Take every AP class you can.

It is your LAST chance to get college credits for free (or close to).

Depending on the college you are attending, college credit hours can be as much as $1000.00/credit (usually $200ish) Plus the harder you push yourself now, the easier college will be.

ok, so there's a super distinction in challenge between taking a million and 3 or 4 AP's. It gets lots greater durable. I in simple terms finished my junior 300 and sixty 5 days and it become very perplexing, however I very lots did rejoice with my training. it quite is one ingredient i think of makes lots of a distinction whilst taking AP's. in case you rejoice with the challenge and enjoy discovering, it is going to become quite much less complicated. For me, AP Calculus AB become a breeze, in actuality i could say it become one among my well-known AP's (It become genuinely my well-known math class because of an excellent instructor and a incredibly basic challenge to which I caught onto quickly). I took 4 AP's and an honors class and it took various my time. I somewhat had time to do issues outdoors schoolwork, extremely because of actuality my AP US background instructor gave lots of homework (he become super astonishing, however. That luckily made the workload sense no longer so undesirable). AP US itself isn't terrible, however, yet of path there is various info to get down. in case you do no longer discover background to be something you excel at, the AP US isn't lots a reliable thought. i would not say a three on AP worldwide is a maximum properly known score, yet whilst it is your purpose on your AP's, then it is going to no longer be fantastically perplexing. in case you do rejoice with technological know-how (which I genuinely do), then taking one is a super thought. in actuality, AP Biology and APES are palms down my 2 well-known training (however, while you're no longer extremely reliable/attracted to bio, i've got heard from many that that is tough. notwithstanding, on condition that your taking anatomy and wellness, it won't be so undesirable). I genuinely have additionally heard that AP English isn't too hard, however the attempt is extremely frustrating. fairly lots however, the alternative is down on your man or woman discretion. in case you understand which you would be able to no longer cope with it (and don't assume to get all A's, taking perplexing training is greater desirable interior the eyes of faculties), then do what you may. Being committed to specific golf equipment, extracurricular, and so on. is likewise paramount to faculties, so shop that throughout ideas. do no longer assume to have lots of time beyond regulation, the two. I mean, you will have some, yet maybe no longer as much as you may choose. average, as long as you artwork perplexing and don't procrastinate, you need to do properly and discover time beyond regulation.
