<p>Well, I'm about to be a junior and I was feeling great about my schedule this year.
AP Bio
Lab
AP Pysch
APUSH
AP Eng
Spanish 4
Func/Trig (Pre-Calc)</p>
<p>Then I got a call from my counselor and I had to drop AP Psych, which I was looking forward to, to AP Statistics, which I'm seriously afraid of.</p>
<p>Any books or advice or anything? How hard is that class? I suck at math, will I survive?</p>
<p>Stats is ridiculously easy. It is NOT rigorous math.</p>
<p>Stats is regarded as a very easy math class</p>
<p>Really? Wow, that makes me feel wayy better. I was under the impression that it’s like really hard because my counselor asked me like 100 times if I was sure about taking it, haha.</p>
<p>The only real problem you might have with AP statistics is that it’s not like other math classes. As a high schooler, you don’t know how to do all the hard math behind statistics, so you have to accept that a lot of things are true just on faith that your teacher is right.</p>
<p>well, counselors tend to exaggerate a lot and always think that students are pushing themselves even if they take like one AP class haha</p>
<p>So, like does AP Stats look better or worse than AP Psych?</p>
<p>
+1, college stats can be insanely hard. Just not AP.</p>
<p>Re post above, I would personally go with stats. But I’m looking at a career in math/science/engineering. If you dream of being a psychologist, maybe that would look more valuable.</p>
<p>why did you have to drop it?</p>
<p>but stats is a pretty easy course. it’s considered a joke in many places.</p>
<p>I had to drop it because AP Bio and Psych are only offered during first period, sucks lol</p>
<p>But… Does Stats look better than Psych to colleges?</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Both are considered joke APs. I will repeat: if you are looking to major in a quantitative field (math/science/engineering), take stats. If you are looking at the social sciences… both could be useful. An understanding of statistics is very valuable (though you shouldn’t expect to get it from such a low-level class).</p>
<p>first few weeks of AP Stats. Pretty easy. Just read the textbook. short read depending on your book.</p>
