Hey everyone, im starting my senior year of highschool Aug. 2013. </p>
I am considering political science as a major; and I’m taking AP Comp Gov. APUSH, AP Human Geography, and AP Spanish. </p>
As for next year, I’ve been considering AP Economics along with two other APs; AP World History and AP European History. Is it necessary to take AP Economics for a political science major? I love history, however I truly despise mathematics… but it seems as if AP Economics would somehow be related to strengthening my political science background…? </p>
THANK YOU!</p>
<p>If you are hesitant about taking AP Econ because you dislike math, don’t worry. There is very little math in AP econ</p>
<p>Take AP Economics. It’s really beneficial and great, however it’s hard work and some people consistently struggle with the economic concepts. There’s a lot of reading and thinking involved. </p>
<p>And yeah, like what Syoung2 said there’s little math. In fact there are no calculators involved in the AP Exams. </p>
<p>I recommend reading an AP Econ study guide ahead of time. At the beginning of the year I regretted AP Econ when we started elasticity, but afterwards I got used to these new concepts. I realized how the concepts eventually work together. Good luck :)</p>
