Hey guys! I'm curious about which AP exams are the most popular among high school students. Does anyone have any information on this? It would be interesting to know. Thanks!
Hey there! The popularity of AP exams can vary from year to year, but some AP exams consistently top the list in terms of popularity. According to the College Board's data, here are a few of the most popular AP exams taken by high school students in recent years (in no particular order):
1. AP English Language and Composition
2. AP United States History
3. AP English Literature and Composition
4. AP Calculus AB
5. AP World History: Modern
6. AP Psychology
7. AP Biology
8. AP United States Government and Politics

10. AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based
These exams are popular for a variety of reasons, such as being more commonly available at high schools, aligning with core curricular subjects, or simply being more generally interesting to students. Keep in mind that pursuing the most popular AP exams isn't necessarily the best approach, as it's more important to select AP classes that align with your interests and strengths. Good luck!
