Non-science AP’s were the most useful for my D. She did NOT need to take college history, her hardest sabject and took one semester of English instead of 2, and that one semester was complete waste of her time, learned nothing. However, many places would no let you graduate without at least one semester of Foreign language. Although it could have been the case at D’s UG. She placed higher than the highest score listed on placement test (everybody had to take placement in Math and Foreign Language before restering for first emester at college). That reasulted in her placing into 3rd year of college Spanish, which was one of the D’s best UG classes. That also allowed her to place into intermideate level of Medical Spanish that she is taking while in Med. School. D. was advised not to skip first Bio despite of 5 in AP Bio. Good that she listened as this firt college Bio went thru AP material in first 2 weeks, then they moved on. Besides AP English, D. also used AP Calc which alloed her to take only one semester of college Stats and be done with math.
