Incoming Georgia Tech student, what AP exams should I take?
I’m a HS senior and I’m going to be a CS major at gatech next year so I was wondering which AP exams I should take.
I think the website says I can get credit for the exams that I took:
-AP Human Geo
-AP US history
The AP classes that I can take this year:
-AP Psych
-AP Gov
-AP Calc BC
-AP Chem
-AP Lit
-AP Spanish
I was wondering if I should take AP Gov or AP Psych? (if not I was going to cancel those exams)
I was planning to take AP Calc BC, AP Chem, and AP Lit, and AP Spanish but I’m wondering if any of these might be unnecessay/not very beneficial for me to take? Overall, I was hoping to figure out which exams to take, so I would really appreciate any advice. Thanks

Definitely do calculus. See if it says the AP Lit exam places you out of freshman composition- all students at GaTech are required to take it. Look at the requirements for the CS major, and what general education (freshman and sophomore) courses you'll be required to take, and take the AP tests in those. Psych probably counts for a Social Science credit. Knowing Spanish is definitely an asset, but it doesn't look like a language is a requirement, so it won't do you any good to take that one. You need a history or poli sci course and 15 hours of math, so placing out of 6 hours would be a help.
