What AP Exams are Worth Taking? - Class of 2030
Hi Everyone, apologies in advance for the question that's been asked numerous times.
I am an incoming freshman this fall, and as a current high school senior, I still have some time (1-2 weeks) to cancel for AP exams.
I understand that since Harvard did away with Advanced Standing in 2022, I cannot gain any credit for the courses. Instead, the scores can be used as pre-requisites for Harvard classes, with the Calc BC exam (5) enabling to place out of the introductory math class and a foreign language exam (5) enabling to pass the foreign language requirement.
My question is about other classes, and whether or not they would be worth it. I believe that it would be better to take the exams and have them then not, but I just wanted to know if certain ones would be completely inapplicable for me.
I'll be an Economics / Social Studies concentration next year with a minor in CS, and the exams I have already taken and have 5s on are:
AP Statistics, AP Euro, AP Lang, and AP US
The exams I can take this year (bold for confirmed) are:
AP Physics Mechanics, AP Physics E&M, AP Calc BC, AP Lit, AP World, and AP Biology.
Would it be worth for me to take any of these other tests? I believe I can get a 5 on them if I study, but I would rather not give myself extra stress. Thank you!
