<p>Hi, i have a few questions since AP Testing is coming up in May....</p>
<p>1) If I already know what I want to do as a major (e.g. business), should I take the easier AP tests like Human Geography/Environmental Science/Psychology since it has no correlation with my major?</p>
<p>I was reading other threads and some people said that taking these AP tests shows the colleges that you can handle more AP's than your school offers (i'm maxing out the course load atm). I was wondering whether it's wise to take these AP tests for more or less padder......</p>
<p>If it wouldn't really change anything I would just skip on it because I'm probably not even going to run into those college courses (for credit) in college and they cost a lot of money.</p>
<p>2) Do colleges receive your AP test scores after they admit you? My friend is only sending in his AP testings after he got accepted so I'm confused.</p>
<p>Thanks! Yet another confused teenager here.</p>
<p>2) AP Scores are sometimes a factor in admissions, although not as big as grades, ecs, etc. AP Scores are mainly used to receive credit, and therefore many people self-report their scores and then send in the official score report once admitted.</p>

Yes, if you have interest in them. They allow you to get credit for general educational course and take more courses in your major. Also look at APs that are related to your major, such as Calculus and Statistics.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice. I have already done the Calc BC and Statistics AP testing (I also took Statistic in my CC course so that kind of defeats the purpose).</p>
<p>However, I don't believe Human Geography and Environmental Science are commonly required GE courses are they?</p>
