I’m fairly certain that -all- ISEF participants or want-to-be participants will have taken honors or AP science classes, so while it may be helpful in creating a -good- project, the odds of it contributing to something that -stands out- is very small.

I didn’t use AP material in ANY of my projects - all of it was outside learning and investigation, and you should do the same =) Go look around at the science databases that are available online, take a look at some abstracts of groundbreaking research currently being done, and good luck!
