Which AP classes require the least amount of reading from a textbook or anything. Reading kills me as it is so hard to remember information.
None of the AP courses demand any reading. Take any and all of them. Now you may only get a 1 or a 2 on the respective AP exams, and then all that effort cannot be used for college credit. But maybe nobody reads in college either. Information is overrated, unnecessary. That’s why news is fake.
If you don’t like a lot of reading, then definitely avoid AP US history and AP European history. Both require enormous amounts of reading. I would recommend that you only take AP classes in subjects that you are very good at.
I would definitely agree with DadTwoGirls and recommend that you don’t take APUSH or Dual Enrollment/Dual Credit US History. In general, it would be best for you not to take any of the social studies APs, except for the very light ones such as Human Geography or Psychology, because the others require a significant amount of reading from the textbook, from what I’ve heard and from personal experience. I would also avoid AP Biology and AP Art History; they both require a lot of reading and memorization, in my experience. Personally, the AP class I’ve taken that required the least amount of reading was Macroeconomics, and even then, you need to memorize multiple graph types. You might also have problems being permitted to take AP Economics classes if you don’t want to take AP or Dual Enrollment US History because some schools with tracking systems require completion of APUSH in order to take AP US Government and Macro/Microeconomics.
Keep in mind that AP classes are supposed to be college level classes, and you should expect at least some self-studying/outside reading from each of them. On the topic of actual college classes, expect a significant portion, if not the majority, of the material that is being tested on to not be covered in class lectures, so you will have to resort to a lot of self-guided reading to be successful. For now, though, I think that it would be best for you to take Honors or standard level classes in at least Social Studies if memorization and reading is a problem for you; if the rest of your schedule is rigorous, it really shouldn’t hurt you that much for most schools in the country. If you must take college-level History, perhaps make a quizlet or flashcards to help you remember terminology and events. Also, don’t be afraid to ask your teacher up front what, exactly, you need to remember for a quiz or a test; that helped me a lot in DE US History, my first college class, during junior year.
I probably could help a lot more if I had an idea what you’ve already taken and how you’ve done in those classes.
AP Stat and Calc AB/BC for obvious reasons. All the other APs depends on your teacher. Some teachers may require you to read a physics textbook, and some may not.
