Answers

If you answered mostly A: You have a 92% chance of succeeding in Humanities, as AP Lit was made for you. You should go on the American Literature Warrior with how you’ll clear that obstacle course. SOAPStone is now a daily ritual with every word you hear, via song or your lovely acquaintances, is automatically analyzed in your head with an integrated CD to go along with it. 

If you answered mostly B: You have a 98% chance of excelling in all the AP STEM courses. When you sleep, you probably calculate the speed at which your room fan is currently spinning and the speed it should spin in order for your room to reach its ideal temperature. When you read, you don’t see letters, but rather numbers. HEL may not be your calling and Macbeth may drive you insane but that’s ok! At least you got derivatives on your side.

If you answered mostly C: You have a 74% chance of excelling in the fine arts because AP Music Theory is music to your ears. Throughout your high school career, you have probably joined all the arts programs at Northwood (dance, visual arts, drama, ceramics, music, choir, etc) and also play two other instruments outside of school. You most likely have every Taylor Swift song completely memorized (plus the release date and time of every album) and have Oct. 21 marked on your calendar (if you know, you know).

If you answered mostly D: You have an 87% chance of success in Humanities because WHAP and APUSH feed your soul. Sure, English is enjoyable (at most) and you can get through math (with multiple yawns throughout the class period) but history? History is your happiness. Your expansive knowledge of the past has most likely made you into an individual who is adamant about change (social justice warrior fr) and can probably name all the recent Executive Orders.
