Which tests should College Board offer?

<p>So I noticed that a lot of the tests College Board offers are common majors in college. For example, biology or history or math. Common classes taken in college, I guess.</p>

<p>But if that's the case, why isn't AP Philosophy offered? Philosophy is a common class and a common major offered. Also, AP Business. There are a lot of business majors in the US and that could be a test lots of kids would take. I mean if they have AP Latin, I don't think Philosophy or Business is far-fetched. </p>

<p>I don't, that's just me. What other tests could AP offer?</p>

2

<p>That sounds good. IB offers both TOK (mandatory) and Philosophy and Business. I do know AP is coming out with out with Computer Science: Principles in a few years.</p>

3

<p>AP Calculus CD</p>

<p>AP Differential Equations</p>

<p>AP Linear Algebra</p>

4

<p>@derivate. Agree-those sound good to me. Collegeboard definitely needs more math-related APs.</p>

5

<p>They don’t have philosophy because that is supposed to be incorporated into APUSH, AP Euro, and AP World.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Also, a a Classics major this statement bothers me. AP Latin exists because Latin is still a language that is taken at the high school level, and I would argue, is relevant to the modern world. We have AP Chinese and Japanese, but neither of these languages are taught as much as Latin is. </p>

<p>EDIT: Also, for business, AP Macro and Micro. I know thats economics, but I don’t really see the point of including what has become, at state schools, essentially a general studies major, as an AP class.</p>

6

<p>ap middle eastern history</p>

7

<p>^ I doubt they would do that. AP World History is the ap history class that focuses the most on Eastern history, so I doubt they’d make a class for middle eastern history.</p>

8

<p>ap political science/international relations</p>

9

<p>^ AP US Government, and AP Comparative Government.</p>

<p>To be honest, I don’t think there is much that college board can add right now. Most of the courses that are taught in college that don’t have official APs are worked into the existing APs.</p>

<p>AP Edna 10char</p>

<p>I thought of another one. AP Astronomy. I always wanted to take an astronomy class in high school. I guess I just gotta wait until college maybe.</p>

13

<p>Ap women’s studies</p>

14

<p>AP Geo. environmental science is kinda close. But it’s too interdisciplinary, too bio-y.</p>

15

<p>If they could somehow come up with another history AP, I would take it, e.g. Asian History, African History, Latin American History, and even Middle Eastern History as someone said before.</p>

16

<p>AP AP History. A history of the AP program, tests, and possible future tests. May also include some questions about the history of the Collegeboard and why it’s “nonprofit.”</p>

17

<p>^Lol. Now that would be something.</p>

18

<p>I like the idea of AP AP History, but also I think AP Hispanic Studies or Latin American history would be incredibly interesting… or at least incorporating a more defined culture section into Span Lang, because so few people get to Span Lit and can experience that type of thing.</p>

19

<p>AP Discrete Mathematics
AP Linguistics
AP Physics C: Thermodynamics and Optics
AP Physics C: Modern Physics
AP Sociology</p>

<p>Especially discrete math and physics.</p>

<p>I’ve never taken a single AP :stuck_out_tongue: (I do IB) but I have to say, if there was an AP Current Events or something like that, I would take it! They probably wouldn’t like it though because there can be no real static syllabus…</p>
