<p>I know this was probably answered previously, but here goes .... can my son register for advanced classes prior to receiving the results of his AP exams? He registered for a June CTOPS and the results won't be out yet. Thank you.</p>
<p>Do these classes have prerequisites? (Are we talking Math?) If so, they may require him to wait and get those advanced classes during add/drop during the first weeks of school. </p>
<p>My d did a late CTOPS, so her scores were in when she registered...and therefore, I may be wrong about this. But it seems logical, especially since it isn't that difficult to get most classes during add/drop.</p>
<p>My son was worried that the advanced courses, already registered for by sophs, would be closed in August. Hope this doesn't backfire on him.</p>
<p>Even if he has a problem registering for a class at CTOPS, a lot classes will open up spaces during the drop/add period. One key to success is not getting married to one schedule, but to have some alternate schedules prepared.</p>
<p>tyr is right, classes usually open up during add/drop. And you can always talk to a professor in person and ask to be added. My d has had success with this approach. Also, students usually avoid the 8:00 a.m. sections, so sometimes, those sections stay open.</p>
<p>Helpful hint: During her first two years, my d prepared her ideal fall and spring schedule and then let some of the spring courses serve as her backup should she not get her first choice fall classes. I think she only had to switch a fall and spring class one time. Since the first year or so is primarily core curriculum classes, this is very doable.</p>
