<p>AP Study Hallā€¦ LAWL</p>

304

<p>AP religion: PROVE THAT GOD EXISTS! No credit will ever be given, except at Liberty and Viola.</p>

305

<p>I second AP Mythology, Astronomy, and Nutrition
How about AP Sleep? AP Universal Theories?</p>

306

<p>AP Sleep - Iā€™m down with that</p>

307

<p>I wouldā€™ve loved to take an AP Philosophy class.</p>

308

<p>I think there should be fewer AP exams, not more. Having so many pushes ambitious students to cram their schedules full of them.</p>

309

<p>Cut them way back! The value of an AP class has been diluted, and many top colleges no longer offer credit for many of the exams. Instead, schools should be encouraged to offer rigorous courses based on the demand of their student body - let the students drive the offerings, not the other way around. </p>

<p>Too many students taking these courses donā€™t really learn the material, but just want the boost to their GPA. Imagine if schools could afford to offer ā€œtopics inā€¦ā€ classes the interest their student bodies, rather than find students to fill an AP class, who only want to be there because it looks good on their transcript.</p>

<p>An ap engineering class</p>

311

<p>AP Multivariable Calculus, AP Linear Algebra, AP Differential Equations, AP Organic Chemistry, AP Philosophy</p>

312

<p>AP Gym, AP Asian History, AP American History(not U.S.) AP African History, AP Maritime History</p>

313

<p>AP Common Sense. I need this badly. ( would probably fail) haha</p>

314

<p>I find thereā€™s a point when a subject is scarier if described by its base field. </p>

<p>AP Math
AP Science
AP History </p>

<p>Anything goes Math/Science/History,
i.e AP Science - Know Chem, Bio, Physics, etc.</p>

315

<p>AP Bolivian History</p>

316

<p>AP should have more major specific courses offered (like human geo and physics c)
AP food science
AP Comparative religion
AP Business
AP sociology
AP philosophy/humanities
Iā€™ve seen AP Arabic mentioned a lot, and I do think that there would be a substantial amount of demand (like how Italian, Chinese, Japanese and Russian language and culture has a lot, but a lot less than say Spanish and French)
Also in the list of languages, offering a variety for beginners that want a really intense language learning experience (much like IB abinitio being 3 years in 1)</p>

317

<p>AP British Literature, AP Data Analysis and Probability, AP Botany</p>

318

<p>AP organic chem (itā€™d be hard to pass, but would be invaluable to studens wanting to avoid a weed-out class)</p>

<p>AP womenā€™s history (this could be neat, with notable women, the history of feminism, etc.)</p>

<p>AP world literature (this would be awesome, the canon would also be large for this)</p>

319

<p>AP Creative Writing
AP Neuroscience
AP Environmental Studies</p>

<p>AP Modeling (evaluations based on studentsā€™ attractiveness, ability to pose in different forms in various backgrounds, use of lighting and props, runway skills, ability to showcase items and clothes, ability to look sultry/appealing, and overall aesthetics)</p>

320

<p>AP Drama and AP Calc CD, maybe AP Engineering (get some more specific types, though).
Iā€™m excited that there will soon be AP Russian. FINALLY</p>
