There are more than 30 AP courses, each one of which connects directly to a wide variety of college majors and careers. For example, if you’re thinking about law enforcement, did you know that it might help to take AP Psychology? Or that, if you want to be a sociologist, AP Statistics could be a good first step? Excited to know more? Use the tool above to see what AP courses prepare you for other future paths.
AP courses also help you transform the subjects you’re enthusiastic about into a fulfilling future. If you’re into studying languages, taking one in AP could help you in everything from a college major in languages to a career in Anthropology, Ethnic Studies, or Fashion Design.
Each of the exam has its own unique requirements; however, almost all of the exams have several things in common:
Students explore the concepts, theories, models and techniques that underpin each subject area and through these develop their understanding of the scientific method.
A compulsory project encourages students to appreciate the environmental, social and ethical implications of science. This exercise is collaborative and interdisciplinary and provides an opportunity for students to explore scientific solutions to global questions.
What are all the IB courses available to take? Here’s our complete list of all SL and HL classes.
Every IB School is different, so your IB school may not offer all of the IB courses below. However, these are all of the classes that IB creates a curriculum and test for. There are 56 classes (counting HL and SL separately). I have categorized them by the subject categories that IB defines as the six subject groups:
To receive your IB Diploma, you must take from all 6 categories (Students may opt to study an additional sciences, individuals and societies, or languages course, instead of a course in the arts)
Students can choose many varieties of subject options; a small selection of the many combinations chosen by students are shown below.

The UK Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT) is a computer-based aptitude test for those who are
interested in pursuing a career in medicine in the UK. The test was developed to help admissions
officers determine whether you, the candidate, have what it takes to succeed in the field of
medicine. Over a period of one and a half hours, your reasoning abilities will be put to the test in
four key areas – verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, abstract reasoning, and decision analysis.
Each section of the test is scored on a scale from 300 to 900 points. Here is a quick breakdown of the
test:
What is it: This section assesses your ability to comprehend written text and draw conclusions from
it. You will be given passages to read and four multiple choice questions to answer for each passage.
Why does it matter: During your career, you will often be required to use your verbal reasoning
skills to process information and arrive at the correct conclusions in a number of situations, such as
during your consultations with patients.
What is it: It shows the admissions officers how good you are with numbers. You will be presented
with numerical information in the form of tables, charts, graphs, etc. and problems that will test
your ability to interpret and compute that information.
Why does it matter: The field of medicine is scientific in nature. Any professional in the field of
science will tell you that without a strong foundation in mathematics, you won’t go far in the
sciences.
What is it: It’s all about convergent and divergent thinking. This section tests your ability to come up
with possible solutions to a problem and converge on a solution that works.
Why does it matter: At times, you may have to perform a “differential diagnosis” (If you have ever
watched the show ‘House’, you will know exactly what I’m talking about) – given a set of symptoms,
you will need to come up with possible diagnoses and test each one for the best fit before treating
the patient.
What is it: It tests your ability to make decisions in situations when not all the information is given or
when the information is not of the highest quality.
Why does it matter: As a doctor, you may be presented with incomplete medical histories of
patients, or information written in unfamiliar formats, and you will have to do your best to make
decisions based on that information.
At this point, you may be wondering how one prepares for such a test. The best way to do well is to
approach the test strategically. Because it is so time-intensive, you need to find ways to save time.
Develop a time-management strategy that works for you. This will come with practice. Focus on your
weaknesses and familiarize yourself with the question types that give you the most trouble. Doing so
will allow you to spot recurring patterns among those questions, so that you can develop ways to
tackle them efficiently and find short-cuts to answers, saving you a lot of time. If you make time-
management a priority in your preparation, you’ll be well on your way to getting at least an average
of 650 out of 900 points, which is enough to please the admissions officers at most universities.
