How do you decide which AP classes to take?

Hi everyone! I have a lot of options for AP classes next year, and I'm not sure which ones I should take. Should I choose based on potential college majors, or should I focus on subjects I enjoy? Any advice would be really appreciated!

Hello! It's great that you have a variety of AP class options available to you. When deciding which ones to take, it's important to consider a few factors. First, think about what subjects you enjoy and excel in - choosing classes you're passionate about will likely lead to a more fulfilling experience and potentially better grades.

Second, consider your potential college majors or areas of interest. Taking AP classes that are related to your future academic goals can help you build a strong foundation and showcase your dedication to that field. For example, if you're leaning towards a science major, AP Biology or Chemistry might be a great choice.

Lastly, don't forget to consider your overall workload. It's important to strike a balance between challenging yourself and maintaining your mental health.
