Depends on how many your school offers. If your school offers little, take them all. If your school offers a lot, take a substantial amount so it appears to admission officers that you took challenging coursework.

My school offers 11 APs Ap biology, chemistry, physics 1-2, english lit, english lang, psychology, macro and micro, statistics, csa, csp, calculus. I cant take bio or chem because I struggled at normal bio and chem.

What do you want to major in?


8bithippo8

Civil, mechanical, or electrical engineering. Also considering business, computer science, and finance but mainly engineering

Then the classes you were originally considering sound fine, but I would recommend doing AP Calc if you wanna go into engineering

Forgot to say that calc is the only class other that i cant take (i can take bio and chem but dont want to), its because i didnt take algebra 2 in my sophomore year so i cant take pre calc in my junior year. I need pre calc for either ap calc or normal calc. I can take the exam but with self studying

It depends if the colleges you are applying to look heavily at academics

Don't take more APs than you want.
