Did I make the right choice not signing up for the AP Euro exam?
Answered

I'm a senior, here is my AP coursework and scores as of now:

9th: Music Theory - 5

10th: APUSH 1 (no exam 1st year)

11th: APUSH 2 - 5

AP Lang - 4

2D Art - 3

Physics 1 - 1 (not really relevant I know)

12th: Stats, Calc BC, Euro, French, Micro/Macro

I'm taking the exam for all the 12th grade courses except Euro since I got a 5 on APUSH and I'm not going into history. My intended major is econ but if I switch, it'll likely be within the social sciences or to math because I want a post-grad business degree. Should I have signed up for the Euro exam anyway?

I think you made the right choice by not taking AP Euro as you already have so many classes that you have to prepare for and get 4 or 5's in their AP exams. Having one more AP class could have really stressed you out and could have made you get not so good grades in your exams. Also, you didn't really need the history credit as you want to major in either economics or maths.
