do colleges know which APs are blowoffs?

<p>. . . . . . At my school. . . . the AP Stats is SO difficult that one of my friends who has gotten 5’s in every other AP exam he has ever written (And he got a national scholar award) is FAILING! ! ! !</p>

<p>So yes. . . it varies by school~
Therefore. . . . it will make no difference to a college about which AP classes you have taken as long as the AP EXAM SCORE is high enough~
Since. . . everyone writes the same exam
xD</p>

<p>Its mostly dependent on the person’s skill level. Also, If you combine Stats with Psych, you WILL find it easier (especially in the theoretical and experimental design part of Stat) because there’s so much overlap between the two.</p>

<p>I did Stat, Psych and Calc AB concurrently in senior year. I enjoyed all of those, got good scores.
I also did Physics C that year (both Mech and E&M), which sucked to hell (don’t get me wrong, the class was totally worth it, learnt a heck lot, but the EXAMS sucked). I had a straight-A in Phys. Hns in junior year and I couldn’t believe myself when I got 3’s on both the exams…whatever. I liked the experience in the class, so it doesn’t matter.</p>

<p>Although I won’t lie, I did almost no work for Psych and Stat (Calc and Physics just took up all my time) and got 5’s on both the exams.
Colleges do know that someone “attempting” the Physics C exams is more likely to do well than someone “attempting” a Stat/Psych exam (i.e., doing it in their senior year).</p>

<p>At My School:</p>

<p>Easy: AP Stat, AP English Lang, AP Calc AB
Hard: AP Calc BC, AP Physics C</p>

<p>for my school:</p>

<p>Easy: AP English, AB calc, Enviro
Medium: APUSH, AP stat
Hard: BC Calc, AP Physics (B), AP Chem, AP Biology</p>

<p>Also, AP Physics B, while it doesn’t require calculus, it is still quite extensive. The curriculum is much more broad than Physics C.</p>

<p>Epic necro? Anywho,</p>

<p>My experience:
Easy: English IV, APES, Human Geo(5), Stats(5)
Medium: Government(5), APUSH(5), Calc(4), Psych
Hard: WHAP, Euro(5), Physics, Bio(5), Chem, English III (4)</p>
