<p>Is that too many? Because my school(junior and senior high combined) offers I think 30 AP classes altogether and I'm just taking as many as i can. Do colleges impose a limit on the amount of AP classes you can take?</p>
<p>I dont think there is a limit but thats not a good idea I mean… those are SEVENTEEN AP exams! It would be VERY VERY hard and stressful!! My advise is to decide which ones will help you in what you want to major in or what seem interesting to you and not just take as many as you can even though you’re not into that subject.</p>
<p>The thing is my peers are probably taking even more. My class rank/gpa would probably drop if i were to switch from AP to and Honors or Regs class.</p>
<p>How about you? How many AP classes did/are you taking?</p>
<p>Do you mean 17 during all high school or in one year?</p>
<p>All High School. You can only take a max of 7 in a year.</p>
<p>I’m a fond believer of there not being a such thing as ‘too many’ AP exams a person can take as every person is different when it comes to workload they can handle. </p>
<p>Colleges don’t impose a limit on the amount of AP classes you can take but each university has its own policy on credits they reward for AP exam scores. You’d want to check with the universities you plan to attend and see what AP exams they award credit for before beginning your studies to be sure the exams you’re taking possibly will translate to college credit at that university.</p>
<p>Oh ok then that would be reasonable! 
In my school they limit students to 4 APs per year so I’ll be taking only 11 :mad:</p>
<p>Would you guys recommend taking Environmental Science?</p>
<p>I heard from my friends who took the course and the exam that its really easy so id say go for it but check if the college u want to attend gives credit for it</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’d say go for it as well.</p>
<p>Luck you. My D’s school only offer 15 AP classes and they are going to cut down to 6 hours next semester. There is no way for her to take even 5 AP classes in any year. Make sure you are not only taking challenging courses, but also excel in them.</p>
<p>How would taking courses not related to your intended college major play out in college? For example, I took the HGAP exam during freshman year, but I want to major in Aerospace. How would that play out?</p>
<p>I think the AP test/class may serve several purposes, but the main purpose are for credit and advanced placement (as its name). It may or may not help much for your intended major. First of all, there are not many corresponding AP classes for majors. Second, most students don’t have even half of their AP score by application deadline. Third, many schools would insist on having you to take their core course in major even if you have that AP credit. So very often, you get AP credits for electives or non-core requirement.</p>
<p>So there’s no limit? At the rate I’m going, I’m going to end up with about 90 credits.
(I’m going to end up with 19 tests)</p>
<p>Wouldn’t that mean that I could graduate in 2 or 3 years?</p>
<p>34 or bust</p>
<p>what does that mean?^^</p>
<p>Most colleges have a limit on how many credits you can use, so I’d check with the colleges you’re interested in attending. Also, AP credit only gets you out of general ed classes or puts you in more advanced classes, and the credits won’t cover every GE requirement. You could probably skip a year, if your school doesn’t have a limit.</p>
<p>I want to go to Purdue, but the Engineering School has a different Credit system than General Admissions, taking only a fraction of normal AP classes. So would that mean most of the APs I take are gonna be worthless?</p>
