Do most take both AP Lang and AP Lit?

AP Lang
AP Lit
AP Calc (flavor depends on STEM vs Non-Stem
AP Stat
AP Chem
AP Physics
AP Bio
AP Comp Gov
AP US History
AP World History
4 years of the same language

Need 3 lab sciences so substitutions can be made there, and obviously more are available at most schools.

This is not a great list for all schools. My DC’s school requires you to take the regular or honors version of Bio, Chem or Physics before you can take the AP versions, so taking the AP version of all 3 isn’t even feasible.

Every school will have variations
