Which AP classes are useful to take?

A lot of times it depends on the teacher and the class. An awful teacher won't be useful to you or for the class.
Choose ones that might interest you or that you might want to major in for college.
...Can't really help on the other questions...

Choose one that you are good at, and have been consistantly good at. Obviously, choose the language ap course with the language you are studying/want to study...

i would say NONE

I'm taking Human Geography and it's pretty interesting. If you like history and have a good memory, I would recommend World History or European History. English Language is interesting too, its currently my favorite class.
Good Luck

I'd definitely recommend taking AP classes. They will save you a lot of time and money and will prepare you well for college. If you want an easy class, take AP enviro... it's mostly common sense :)

i would take World and US so that you can exempt in college. the ap exams for foreign language are extremely difficult if you're not a native speaker so i discourage you from taking it.

That's false.. If you trying to go to Princeton, they dont offer you credits if you pass the AP Exam for US History (not sure about world history) nor do they give you an advance class.. Dartmouth would give you 1 credit for it but other colleges will give you more credits like University of New Hampshire if you pass the AP Exam with a 4 or 5 they'll give 8 credits & advance class in history

All colleges take different AP credits. To be sure the school you want takes your credits, you can look at the schools website and try to find transfer equivalencies or you could probably find it by searching "AP Credit" on the school's main portal. Most of the more highly ranked schools like Princeton, Harvard, Yale, etc. will tend not to accept many AP credits due to the high learning standards they place on their students. You should also be aware that if a school focuses on one main branch, for instance schools like Georgia Institute of Technology, California Institute of Technology, etc. then they are more likely to accept credits not geared towards their main programs of study (i.e. Science schools are more willing to accept credit for subjects like history and language that are considered more elective courses than main ones, but you better hope you get a 4 or 5 on the chemistry or biology to get credit, if they even accept it...). However with most state universities or schools with a variety of majors will accept a wide variety of AP credits.

Also, in my experience, AP history classes are those that are offered the earliest and most frequently. At my schools many people took AP world, US, government and econ (the latter two because they are required by high schools and most colleges), but only pursued AP science, languange, or other classes if they were truly dedicated to the subjects. You don't find a ton of schools that don't accept credit for history classes except at the higher end of the college spectrum because, to be honest, I don't think history is a very popular major and so most schools have them as one of their general education requirements. I personally took 3 AP history courses, then the government and econ at my local community college, but wasn't offered the chance at any other classes until my junior year (sophomore if you went through the trouble to get teacher reccomendations and special permission and such, but who wants to put themselves through that as a freshman...). That's my personal experience though.

it definately depends on you, your interests, what your good at, who the teacher is, the kind of effort you are willing to give, etc.

we all have had different experiences with each class. in the end its your decision as to which is the best/most useful.

If you're talking about being useful for college, it's always good to take AP classes in highschool that will fill your General Education Requirements for college. General Education requirements differ from college to college, but most of them are quite similar.

Both English classes are great to have. Also, It's good to take some kind of social science classes, preferably atleast one history type -(World History, American History, European History)- and a human studies type -(Hhuman Geography, Psychology)-. Also, if you're interested in going into the science field as a career, it may benefit you to take some kind of art course, because most colleges want you to take an art class. I took Art History and got the college credit.

I hope this helped!
