Out of these three classes, which is better to take: AP Psychology, AP Economics, or AP Comparative Gov't?

Question

which one is hardest? Which one will colleges like the most?

Answer 1

Psychology is the most interesting and the easiest test. I love it.

Answer 2

The one that is better to take is the one where you are most comfortable with the material and the subject which you are most interested in. Colleges don't have preferences over certain tests, in fact, they don't look at them when they evaluate for admissions, tests are only used if you qualify for credit. And which ones qualify you for credit depends on the school you are looking at.

However, I know that, based on so many students who have taken these tests (in addition to my own opinion), the tests in order from hardest to easiest goes like this:

AP Government

AP Economics

AP Psychology

But seriously do not pick the course based on difficulty or how it will look to colleges, you'll get much more out of it if you are interested in the subject and you are taking it for the sake of learning (and when you take the course for the right reasons, it will show, through grades, teacher recommendations etc.)

Answer 3

Take the class in which you feel

A) The most confident that you will do well in.

B) Fits your goals for a career that you may want or a major you plan on taking on.

Just because you take an AP course doesn't mean you will automatically get college credit, you have to pass the final test to get credit for college. Good luck.

Answer 4

I know a lot of people who take AP Psych and love it.
