New APs

<p>Next year, the College Board is attempting to add an AP Russian Langauge and Culture exam. Are there any other exams you guys think the AP board should add? </p>

<p>I think it'd be interesting to see an AP German Literature exam; why exclude German when there are French and Spanish Literature exams? I've also heard people desire an AP Anatomy or even an AP Marine Biology exam. I don't know. Is it time the College Board ups that number of 37 to 40... or more?</p>

<p>AP Defense Against the Dark Arts...</p>

<p>hahah um AP astronomy?</p>

<p>But if they did AP Astronomy, they would have to test it at night or something for the free response and it would also depend on the weather, which mean a clear date wouldn't be picked and that would make CB members **** their uptight pants.</p>

<p>:) There was a thread like this before, with pages and pages of new APs people wanted. Personally, I would like to see an AP Theatre, AP Business (including things like accounting, finance, marketing), AP Hebrew Language and Culture, and maybe AP Creative Writing.</p>

<p>AP Sleep....</p>

<p>There was an AP German lit test, but since so few took it each year, it was discontinued in 1983. Think about it: only 5,000 or so people take AP German language each year, so even fewer would take AP German lit.</p>

<p>No the wouldn't, they could probably do something else instead of testing at night. Like the AP Computer Science exam doesn't deal with computers at all, so I don't see why they couldn't do something similar with AP Astronomy.</p>

<p>If there's AP Astronomy I'm ready to pay $500 to take the course and test! (or AP Cosmology or AP Astrophysics!) :D</p>

<p>There is an AP Chinese exam in the works.</p>

<p>AP Theatre? AP Creative Writing? ...you're kidding, right? These are exactly the kinds of subjects which SHOULDN'T be tested. Though come to think of it, AP Theatre History or Theatrical Lit. wouldn't be so bad.</p>

<p>atlantiz has been reading too much harry potter =)</p>

<p>AP Multivariable Calc and AP Differential Equations -- add some tail to the math curve...</p>

<p>AP Human Anatomy
AP philosophy
AP Neuroscience
AP Pre-medicine (haha)</p>

<p>AP figure skating...haha i would totally own that test</p>

<p>AP Indian (subcontinent) studies - why don't they have this????</p>

<p>I mean they have Japanese and (I think) chinese, shouldn't they have one for Indians too....</p>

<p><em>sigh</em> even if they do have it, I will have become too too old by then :(</p>

<p>We don't need more APs. Just take college classes. If you pass, you get credit without taking a standardized exam. That is way better in my book.</p>

<p>I think AP Anatomy/Physiology would be a really good practical choice.</p>

<p>By AP Theatre I meant more along the lines of the history of theatre, and dramatic techniques and conventions and the like.</p>

<p>AP African American Studies</p>

<p>Personally, I would like to see:</p>

<p>AP Astronomy
AP Philosophy
AP Asian History
AP Earth Science
AP Linear Algebra
AP Multivariable Calculus</p>

<p>AP astronomy, earth science, medicine</p>

<p>oh and there's a thread on this already somewhere in this topic</p>
