No @ZombieDante Human Geo is nothing like World Geo. Human geo is kind of useless; I self-studied it this year, and I did not think it was pertinent to anything, and this is coming from a geography champion. World Geo would be one of the most difficult APs because of the vast amount of information.

Most AP classes are introductory college freshmen courses. So while AP Biology covers microbiology and genetics, for example, one could take semester long courses solely devoted to these subjects.

I'd like to see AP classes that offer credit for sophomore level courses as well.

@Whoever asked:

English Lit is a very basic literature class covering works in the English language. British Lit would be a slightly more advanced course only covering works from Britain.

English Lit is also more about how to analyze and interpret literature, while British Lit would be more specifically covering works from Britain. There would probably actually be a required reading list from Collegeboard and the test specifically cover the texts, almost like a history exam.

Instead of reading a passage and answering a question from that passage, questions would be more like:

12) In Jane Eyre, ______________
a. ____
b. ____


and the FRQs would be like

Identify symbolism in ________________.

They wouldn't offer AP Algebra/Geometry because most colleges don't offer these classes, and expect you to know the material by the time you get into college.

Lol at AP Geometry, Algebra, and Trig.
Son if you wanna get college credit for those courses I feel bad for you.
Algebra and Geometry should be learned by the time you're a freshman in high school.
And trig? You serious? AP Calc AB and BC usually make it so that you don't have to take trigonometry in college.

If you have taken the AIME, USAMO, or even AMC, I don't think you really understand HOW complex Algebra and Geometry and Trigonometry really comes beyond what we learn in the basic classes lmao.

AP Philosophy or AP Sociology would be fun. I wish they would offer AP Linguistics but that would never happen in a million years so....

Bring back German Lit!
