what AP courses should I pick for credit

Hi all, so I got an email from my college saying I can pick up to 6 of my AP tests to get credit for since I got 4/5s on all them, but how should I go about choosing which ones to get credit for? I plan on doing premed with a physics or possibly a comp sci major, so would it be better to get credit for tests that are more related to my field of study, or ones that are unrelated, like history, to get them out of the way in a sense?

My advice would be to get credit for unrelated gen eds, but I would also check with your school exactly how much credit they will give you. If there is one specific class they will give you a lot of credit for, use that

You should check on your schools site to see which of the AP courses you would get the most credit for, which would most likely be the 5s.

I would get the general education classes out of the way with AP credit.
