What are your other senior year classes? It is completely dependent on that. You should ideally take the same number of APs as junior year or one additional one to demonstrate you are challenging yourself. But you want to balance this with workload - some APs require a ton more reading/homework than others. Lastly, you want to choose classes that line up with your interests – ones that make sense and don’t make it look just like you are reaching for any AP classes. Based on research, I am a firm believer in no more than 4 AP classes senior year, and roughly 8 total APs over a high school career. I will tell you that AP Engl Lit can kill the GPA of a student who is not strong in writing essays all-year long. If your courseload is rigorous without it, I would recommend taking two one-semester English electives.
