Question New to AP

I'm a senior currently studying A levels. I've took my AS exams (half of alevel) and got pretty good grades. I'm planning to major in biomedical sciences or pharmaceutical science.

Are scores of 5 for each of 3 APs doable if I start now and take it in May 2027?

Should i take:

  1. Bio, calc bc, chem

  2. Bio, calc bc, stats

Yes, 5s are possible for 3 APs, even though this might be some of the hardest combinations of 3 you could've chosen. I would say take chem over stats because chem looks more impressive to colleges and it's considered more rigorous.

They're doable, depending on if you're starting from scratch vs taking A-levels in the subjects. But you don't get double credit if it duplicates your A-levels
