How many does your school offer?
4–7 APs by senior year

A solid mid-size selection lets you show rigor without burning out.
The honest part: admissions officers read your transcript in context. Choosing APs aligned to your interests, and scoring well, signals more than sheer volume. A 5 you earned beats a 2 you survived.
