I was interested in taking AP seminar (AP Capstone) next year. This is my schools first year offering this course, so I don’t know what to expect. Is it considered an easy AP or is it difficult to get a good grade in and do well on the AP exam? From what I’ve heard it doesn’t seem to have much structure. I am taking 3 other APs next year(junior year). Any advice/input would be amazing! Thank you in advance
I think a lot of it depends on your teacher, how many students are in your class, etc. It will also probably be rough just because it is your school’s first year offering it.
As for the subject matter of the course, I found it very time-intensive but not necessarily intellectually challenging. You basically just have to learn to make an argument and back it up. The end-of-the-year exam is pretty simple and straightforward. Overall, the course is similar to AP Lang in concept and application, but more hands-on and focused on application of those concepts in your research. I ended up getting a 4 last year, as did the other two people in my class, which is honestly a miracle for me.
