<p>I would say that’s really all relative. At our school, that would not be considered to be very many. Typical “AP students” at our school take 6 total. Of course, there are lots of students who don’t take any, though the school started a challenge this year that everyone plan on taking at least 1 AP course. There are some from our school who will 10-12. Take what you can handle. Also, consider asking your counselor - he/she should know what’s typical for your school as well as make a recommendation based on you personally.</p>
