@momof2eagles remember that AP scores can satisfy prerequisites too. For example my D is taking Behavioral economics next year and Intro Psych is a prerequisite, but she satisfies it because of her 5 in AP Psych. I’m not sure if the 5 in AP Calc can satisfy the Area 5 Breadth of Study requirement. My D took Linear Algebra and used her AP score for placement.
A lot of Econ classes or science classes for example have a math prerequisite. So it’s not strictly an issue of course credits. Also for an Econ major, you have to take Economic Statistics and I think that class would satisfy the Area 5 requirement.
I did that thread you linked to in post #160. Going into senior year, my D already had five 5’s on AP’s. So the only senior AP exam she took was AP Psych, which has proved useful. She did not take the exams for AP Lit, AP Bio, AP Gov or AP Macroeconomics. The only one she regrets skipping is AP Macro because she has decided to be an Econ major and looking back, she would’ve skipped that introductory class and had room for something else.
