15. Myth
Reality
AP courses are for students who always get
good grades.
AP courses are for any students who are
academically prepared and motivated to
take college-level courses.
Taking AP courses could hurt my GPA.
Taking AP courses shows colleges that
you’re willing to challenge yourself
academically.
I can’t take AP because no one has
recommended me.
If you think you’re ready to take an AP
course, then you’re ready to advocate for
yourself — just talk to a teacher or
counselor.

Before you talk to a teacher or counselor, think about what
interests you:
• Which courses do you enjoy most in
school? In which subjects do you excel?
• What college majors are you considering?
What careers excite you?
20. Ask your counselor or teacher the following
questions:
• In which AP courses at our school
am I likely to do well?
• Are there other courses that can
help me succeed in AP or prepare
me for college and careers?
21. What steps do I need to take?
• What is our school’s enrollment deadline?
• May I speak with a student who has taken an
AP course?
• Are there study groups or people who can offer
help if I need it?
• What can I do next to help me prepare for AP?
