Which AP Subject to Choose?
The most common reason for taking AP courses is college or university admissions. so the rule of thumb is to take courses based on your career choice. If you want to go for medical sciences, then choose biology and chemistry. Similarly if you are passionate about Information Technology, then take courses in Computer sciences and Mathematics.
