<p>A Hypothetical Situation</p>
<p>Say that the AP people were going to make another AP. But sadly it had to take away one from it's program. Which one would you like taken away?</p>
<p>I'll start. I would say AP Human Geography. Also maybe AP European History because it's a repeat of AP World basically.</p>
<p>I would probably take away Computer Science A because no one really takes it (they always take AB) and virtually no colleges accord credit for it. Sorry if that was a bit harsh, and my information isn't verified so I could be wrong. </p>
<p>I know this isn't part of the question, but I would definitely add a Philosophy exam. That was one of the first things I noticed the AP program lacked.</p>
<p>I think only one english exam is necessary, and Lit is just strange, because it has no real merit. "Analyze the symbols" is so...dumb.</p>
<p>Get rid of AP Eng. Lit.</p>
<p>Why would you get rid of Euro hist, vs. world hist? I took the class, and I liked the focus in that area, because it's really where our founding ancestry came from, and aptly leads to US history rather nicely, because a lot of Euro's current history coincides with ours.</p>
<p>I was thinking Comp Sci also. Not many people take the class so like why have it? AB might be enough. European History might not be needed because in my class atleast we learned so much about Europe and spent only a little time on other places.</p>
<p>ap psychology really has no relevance what so ever when compared to 1st year course at college, Come on u can read a book the night before and regurgitate 100 MC questions..</p>
<p>simplicty doesn not equate to uselessness. Just because a given AP Exam is easy does not mean that the subject matter shouldn't be studied.</p>
<p>there should be an advanced Chem exam, like Orgo!!! :)...if Physics gets 3 courses, CHem should at least get 2. lol</p>
<p>I'd get rid of CompSci A or integrate art history with portfolio(you have to have the talent and the knowledge?)</p>
<p>AP Organic Chem would be sweet!!!! And AP Philosophy would be great.</p>
<p>I'm in the IB and I couldn't choose between Philosophy or Econ for my group 3 subject, so then I found out that there isn't an AP philosophy, so I took IB philo, and I will self-study AP econ..</p>
<p>i agree with robbyg
if one ap course is easy for you, it may be hard for another
i hate ap european history but i love ap biology
and my friends have it the opposite way
yes, i'd probably get rid of ap comp science A</p>
<p>ap euro definitely. either expel it or include ancient/medieval history in the curriculum.</p>
<p>Physics B, Calculus AB, and Statistics could be destroyed will little, if any, ill effects.</p>
<p>Latin, a dead language for dead Romans and Brits.</p>
<p>I do not think that AP Art History should be joined with the 3 AP Studio Art coruses, but I do feel its kinda dumb to have 3 AP Studio Art courses with names of AP Drawing Portfolio, AP 2d Art, AP 3d Art....thats lame...it should be one course called AP Studio Art...but u guys also have to realize...at colleges, they give credit by the semesters....so AP Computer Science A is equivalent to a first semester computer science class in a college....you have to take the view point of colleges actually giving credits....making AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC into just AP Calculus really doesnt help when a college is tryign to award u for first semester credit or both semesters.</p>
<p>Logos, why would you take away AP Stats? It's one of the most useful courses taught in high school</p>
<p>Probably because it's easy. People tend to have the misconception that easy means useless, but this isn't always the case.</p>

<p>Well, that's why there are scores. If I get a 3, that is worth one semester, and a 4 or 5 is worth 2.</p>
<p>There's just too little content in AP statistics. If possible, all of the AP tests should be combined into one Brobdingnagian, 72 hour test. It would be on a grading scale of 0 to 1.</p>
<p>I would take away AP Life... :)</p>
<p>bring on the Brobdingnagian.
though how many ppl do you think would get a 1?</p>
<p>The answer to that question may be simpler than you think: 1. lol.. Actually I'm sure there'd be more... Maybe about 5. Or 6. 7, anyone?</p>
