How do I decide which AP Exams to take?

You can decide based on your interests, your intended college major, or your intended career. For example, if you plan to major in chemical engineering, it may make sense to take AP Chemistry and AP Calculus. 

You may also consider which colleges/universities in the U.S. or outside the U.S. recognize AP. For example, if you plan to major in chemical engineering and the university you’re considering will give you credits for Calculus (equivalent of an introductory course), then you can start at a higher level or take another subject if you’ve already met the requirement for your degree. Or your university requires a number of APs just for admission. Review each university’s AP policy carefully.
