Which AP tests to take?

My advice is to think about the subject matter (not the teacher) that you like the least, and take those four tests. Assuming you do well, that could exempt you from having to revisit the material in college. On the other hand, it wouldn’t be that much fun having to sit through four three-hour tests on subjects you don’t like. You shouldn’t take a test you don’t think you’ll get a 4/5 on, since Duke only gives credit for fours and fives.

Make sure you check out Duke’s web site here: http://www.aas.duke.edu/trinity/t-reqs/apcredit.html There’s a lot of good info (for example, Duke doesn’t give credit for AP Physics B).
