<p>@StevenToCollege yes, APES is a joke. It’s mostly common sense, and I have heard stories of people studying the course material in a day. The bigger thing to consider is, does the college your son is aiming for accept APES credit? When it gets to many competitive schools, any AP class will not do. Only the hardest ones. So I suggest you use this site: <a href=“AP Credit Policy Search - AP Students | College Board”>Get the Most Out of AP – AP Students | College Board;
Look up the colleges your son is considering, and it will show which AP classes the college accepts, along with the scores and credits that he will be able to earn.
Also… as far as I know, AP Psych is also one of the easier AP classes. While it is not as easy as APES, it is relatively easy. I think AP Bio would be his best bet here. </p>
