In this way, AP acts as a sort of outlet for intellectual curiosity and higher order thinking while also providing a strong foundation for university studies” McGill, Science “Take as many AP’s as you can. For courses related to your intended field of studies, it’s much better to learn the material for the first time in a small high school class environment than in a lecture hall with 600 other people. For areas which you don’t intend to pursue in depth, this could be your last opportunity to learn something new and interesting. ” McGill, History/Psychology AP Exams • AN option not THE option • AP exams recommended • NOT mandatory at the end of an AP course AP vs. Academic • • • • • • • AP peers AP environment / enrichment Small classes vs. big University lecture halls Aim high Challenging environment = Better result Professional athletes AP Pilot class MATHEMATICS Grade 11 Grade 12 1.
