How often do they make new AP classes?

Why do I sense AP Physical Education (rigorous physical activity), AP Russian (My school has an intense russian program), AP Linear Algebra or AP Multivariable Calculus for the few geniouses out there, and AP Philosophy and Religion on the horizon?

How 'bout AP Study Hall? There is a constant tension between those who create AP tests, and are in it for the money and are thus always thinking about creating more, and colleges which are trending toward not giving credit for AP, or only for a 5 score, for any areas the colleges consider questionable.

I doubt AP religion will ever be made. If it was, the college board would need to make an exam for every major religion being studied.

There will not be an AP religion. But I can imagine AP Theology.

AP athletics--if you can dunk it, hit a homerun, or score a touchdown, you'll get a high score!

AP lunch--hang out with all your AP classmates! The catch is you have to have conversations about your AP subjects.

AP Driver's Ed--ah, more money for ETS!

AP Community Service--Now your community service is "certified" by the College Board!

AP sleeping--we're not talking about sex here.

AP Sex Education--I hope ya'll found out about this in middle school...

AP water skiing, snowboarding, snow skiing, etc...ah, the joy of making money for ETS.

-Vote for me in the next election!

Heythere--

I also think that Russian would be a great AP class (I'm taking Russian as my foreign language). Unfortunately, I don't think it'll happen anytime soon, since Russian isn't nearly as popular as Spanish or French. But I bet there'll eventually be an SAT II exam for Russian.
