<p>Hello
Plz tell me which AP Exams are most relevant for engineering applicants and when are these conducted?</p>
<p>All AP exams are given in late May. Visit the College Board website for details [Advanced</a> Placement Program ?About AP Exams and Courses](<a href=“http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/about.html]Advanced”>Get the Most Out of AP – AP Students | College Board)</p>
<p>They are all conducted in May of every year. Engineering applicants should look to take Physics B, Physics C (E&M), Physics C (Mech), Chemistry, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Computer Science A, Computer Science AB, Biology, Statistics, etc. It all depends on what type of engineering the applicant is looking to go into</p>
<p>Look up first year engineering curriculum at various colleges that you’re interested in and see what courses they take - and take similar ones. That being said the most important courses would be Physics (all) and Calculus (BC preferably) followed up by Computer Science A/AB and Statistics.</p>
<p>Taking an AP English ( Lit and Comp) would be beneficial and MAY get you excused from one of those required English seminar classes. All schools want students who can write, no matter what the major.
Also, utilize materials in your HS’s Guidance Office- there’s usually a lot to be found there. Taking an AP course is fine, but you have to get a good score, a “4” or “5”, to have the credit accepted by a college. Not all colleges accept them and some only for certain courses, which may not include classes in your major field. A few, fewer every year, will accept an exam grade of “3”.</p>
<p>Physics and Calculus are core no matter where you study engineering. Chemistry is also important, followed by Computer Science and Biology. In general, engineering hopefuls should do lots of math/science AP courses.</p>
