I can’t remember what year you are, but the real benefit of AP courses is college credit. If you know where you might want to go, look into whether they accept AP credits for the courses you’re taking - that might be a big factor in whether you think they’re actually worth it or not. My AP credits added up to a full semester, so I was able to graduate in 3.5 years which saved me a shit ton of money.

The other thing would be if your school does a weighted GPA, at which point you have to figure if it’s really worth however much it’ll affect your GPA/class rank (which, again is only important insofar as the schools you want to go to and what they’re looking for), and also you kinda have to think about whether you’d get a lower grade in an AP class and whether GPA-wise if that’d still be higher than a better grade in a lower level class.

Ultimately, like I said it comes down to what kind of school you want to go to and what kind of scholarships you might want to look into. That will determine if the workload is actually worth it or not.
