<p>Will colleges just view these schedules as having the same rigour or not? I realize the difficulty varies in different schools, but there are a few universal ones that are considered bs and others considered difficult.</p>
<p>Yes, they understand the relative difficulties. At many colleges, it won’t really matter to them, but top colleges will discern between students who took cheese APs and students who took intense APs.</p>
<p>Well, they do. But i don’t really understand the part about AP Stats.
English…well, that’s one of the easier ones.
Enviro - yes, defintely, a 15% version of AP bio and a little bit of easy information to remember
Geo - You don’t have to take the class, lol (My friend self-studied it and get a 5)
Psych - you know how it is, lol.</p>
<p>But stats…I can understand that the math portion of it is just a joke, but the application of it…(in the free response section…). Honestly, not that easy.
I have taken AP Calc AB and AP Calc BC prior to AP stats, but the free response last year still confuses me a lot. (I got a 5 nonetheless, lol.)
Anyways, maybe the content just vary from school to school.</p>
<p>Lastly, perhaps just because I am more of a Chem person? I think AP Chem is a joke… I slept every single period because it’s from 7:32 to 9, but I still manage to get a 5 simply by what I learned from regular chem, and a few more formulas. All the formulas are given, and all the constants, too. I just don’t get how people will not get a 5.</p>
<p>The problem with saying one AP is a joke and one is legit. difficult is that the classes and coursework are so dependent upon those who teach them. English Lit and Lang, for example, could be easy classes…or incredibly demanding, if you’re required to write and essay every other day and your writing is held to a high standard.</p>
<p>BC Calc, Physics C, and Chem are the toughest and garner plenty of weight, but you also want to round yourself out with some 5s in one of the US, World, Euro History or Lit.</p>
<p>You can determine which colleges think which AP courses are important by checking which APs are actually given credit if you attend. The credit also varies by dept in the school. For example, if you go to Duke AP Statistics has no credit at all but if you attend arts and science school most of your other credits will disappear too while attending engineering, you get to keep all of them. So there is a disparity on how your APs get treated from school to school and department to department.</p>
