Some topics aren’t included in the AP course framework, so they’re considered out of scope for AP, and we don’t include them in the Khan AP course. The reason for this is the question of scope for AP courses (or other course versions that match a certain curriculum). It’s rare for us to have something in the Khan AP course that isn’t in the general Khan course it’s much more likely to be the other way round. Our AP courses, on the other hand, are set up to match the College Board’s AP course frameworks. Next: What are the differences? Typically, our general courses are aimed at the widest possible audience and include pretty much all our content for that subject. But if you’re not taking an AP course in that subject, then the general course (the one without 'AP” in the name) is likely the best one to choose. As a general rule, if you’re taking a course in a specific context (e.g., you’re enrolled in an AP course at school), then that version of the course on Khan is the one for you. You've probably also wondered why we have these different versions, and what are the differences between them.įirst up: Why? The specifics vary a little subject to subject, but the overall reason is the same: we’re trying to help different audiences learn. If you’ve spent any time cruising around the Khan course library, you’ve probably noticed that we’ve got an AP US History course, and a “general” US history course, or a general Biology course, a High School Biology course, and an AP Biology course.
