a. The College Board offers an online tool (https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/choosing-courses/by-major-career) on which you can help the students discover the subjects they can choose based on their intended career, major or choose the major or career based on AP courses.
b. For example, if you plan to major in Chemical Engineering, it may make sense to take subjects like AP Chemistry and AP Calculus.
c. You may also consider the AP recognition policies of any specific colleges/universities where you think you will apply.
d. What sets an AP Exam apart is that you could potentially earn university credit and/or advanced placement, which means you could skip an introductory-level university course or earn enough credits to start at a higher-level course for that subject.
e. However, many students find that preparation for an AP Exam helps them once they’re at university, even if they don’t earn credit or placement.
