AP Seminar and or AP English Literature
Answered

Which one should I take if I plan to choose computer science or health care as a career path?

They鈥檙e both in 11th grade only so鈥�

I am in tenth grade tight now, (only one AP so far as my school didn鈥檛 have the schedule to fit me in the other ones like Comp Sci and Seminar) and I don鈥檛 know what to do. I for sure love reading and researching. Just wondering if I can take both plus APUSH and an AP science or normal physics.

Thank you.

Also people in my school say AP literature is fun and easy. While others say AP Seminar is pain but fun to work with. I don鈥檛 mind the pain.

I think that AP Seminar would be more beneficial to a major in either computer science or health care because Seminar teaches you great skills such as collaboration and research, which are both very helpful to your intended majors than AP Lit would be. Both are good classes, but Seminar is more useful than Lit.

Ahhh thank you thank you. Everyone around me also said similar things so so just needed one more person to help me out!! Appreciate it!!

Do you know if you can take both classes?

[馃帳 AUTHOR]@deeee3 years ago

I don鈥檛 know if I should. I can but next year I am already a lot of APs!

[馃帳 AUTHOR]@deeee3 years ago

AP Seminar, AP Comp Sci A, AP Bio, APUSH. This school already limits you at three so I鈥檓 trying to speak with them. If I can, then I could take AP Lit too but 馃槶馃槶

I agree with @JhnJy, I am personally also going to take AP Seminar next year. AP Seminar is easier, and probably fits the skill set better to your major. The most important thing is that it continues with AP Research (most of the time) which can earn you AP Capstone Diploma or Certificate. One important thing is that, while AP Seminar is considered easier than other APs, I did hear that it is time consuming since it is mostly project based class. For me, it is not a problem because I love making projects and love taking time to create the best of the best.

If you are mainly looking for AP credit, then AP Lit could be better for you, but generally in my opinion, AP Seminar is better.

Good luck!
