In your opinion, which AP class is better, Psychology or Environmental Science? From my understanding, both tests are relatively easy and the classes are considered filler courses. Is there one that looks better than the other, and to those who have taken one or both, which one has more interesting material?
Psychology doesn’t seem very difficult to me, but students who have taken the course at my school say the teacher who teaches it gives tons of busy work and reading material. For a subject that doesn’t seem all that difficult, that kind of turns me off, especially when I’ll have other AP classes I’m prioritizing over Psych. I don’t know anything about the APES teacher. And is one better than the other to self-study for?
Honestly, @pnkmatter, I recommend taking the class that benefits more to your major. For example, if you are plan on going into a major of STEM, AP Environmental Science would be a better choice, and if you are planning on majoring in something in the humanities, AP Psychology, would be much more useful. If you have no idea on which area you would like to go, or you plan on majoring in both areas, I recommend whichever is more interesting to you as you have a higher chance of wanting to study it more. As a tenth grader, I have not taken either of the classes, so my answer could be invalid, so I apologize about that.
About self studying, I personally have no clue which is better. I have read some people saying both are fine to self study but have not heard that one is easier or better than the other.
