What APs are good for senior year?

I am a rising senior and deciding my classes for the next year. I usually take 4 APs/honors a year, but I am considering adding more for my final year. Is this beneficial if colleges aren’t even really looking at our final senior year GPA for applications?

So far I have signed up for Honors Physics, Honors Engineering, AP government and Honors Economics, and AP Seminar for next year. I am considering adding either AP Literature or AP Precal. Which of these is easier so that it would not add to much to my current load of AP/honors work? I do plan on going into business or possibly engineering.

AP precalc is a bit of a bogus course, it's better to take honors precalc and then AP Calc, but if you haven't taken any precalc yet I would take it. I would only take AP lit if you haven't taken/passed the AP lang exam. Colleges do look at midyear and final transcripts, if some decisions come out later in the year it might look good if your coursework has gotten stronger but your grades stayed about the same.
