<p>For a while I thought that the way they do it at my school was pretty much the way any school did it, but almost all of my friends who go to different schools have really different AP policies, like limits on how many APs they can take and whether or not they have to pay for the exam..</p>
<p>My school has no limits on APs, although they will discourage you from taking anything besides human geo and us government freshman year, they still do allow freshman to take more/different AP classes if they push for it.</p>
<p>They also require everyone to take the exam for every AP class they are in, but the school pays for all exams. I've heard that if you don't show up for an exam they actually charge you the price of the exam, but I don't know anyone who's done this. A lot of people also take AP classes online, and the online school also requires them to take the exam in order to earn AP credit(it's honors otherwise), but the school district pays for the exams also.</p>
<p>So what's the AP policy at your school?</p>
<p>My school has no limit on how many tests you can take. They will pay for you to take the test if you take the class. Classes are only offered to sophomores, juniors, and seniors.</p>
<p>We are permitted to take any AP’s we want and as many as we want but we have to pay for all of them (even the ones that we take classes for)</p>
<p>9th graders can’t take any AP classes, and 10th graders can only take APUSH. 11th and 12th graders can take any AP classes they want that are offered. This is mostly due to the fact that our high school is split 9/10th and 11/12th on two different campuses. A few 10th graders are bussed over for some AP classes, but this is mostly discouraged.</p>
<p>The AP test is optional (most teachers let you choose between the AP test or the final), and the student has to pay for it. The state and district help pay for part of it if you take more than one to help offset the cost.</p>
<p>we can take how ever many we want, but are forced to take the exams, and pay for them…</p>
<p>Mine is basically the same way as the person above.</p>
<p>Freshman can’t take APs, and sophomores usually only take APUSH (unless they are in a very high level of their language, or if they are invited into AP Chemistry). Juniors are required to take AP Lang. You can’t take more than 5 APs at our school though.</p>
<p>what state are you guys in where your school pays for ap tests?</p>
<p>At my daughter’s school, high school freshmen cannot take AP courses and sophomores can only take AP US Government and Politics. AP Lang can only be taken beginning the junior year.</p>
<p>The only AP policy at my school is that you can’t take AP Bio and AP Chem in the same year.</p>
<p>Wait, I lied. You also have to take Trig and College Algebra before you can take AP Calc.</p>
<p>Also, if you don’t take the AP exam, you have to take the final dfor that class</p>

<p>Freshmen can’t take any APs at my school. Sophomores can take European History. Juniors take APUSH and English Language, but the Koreans at my school take Calculus or Stats. Senior year, Economics, Spanish, Chemistry, Physics, Gov’t, English, Biology,Comp Science, Stats, and Calculus AB+BC are available.</p>
<p>my school is pretty bad</p>
<p>do the koreans get special treatment? LOL. are they required to take an ap math junior year? hahaa</p>
<p>@collegebound41, I’m in Florida and they pay for ours here. At least in my district.</p>
<p>At my daughter’s school (California) freshman can only take AP World History. Students have to pay for all AP tests, but are not required to take them.</p>
<p>Freshman - None
Sophomore - AP Bio, maybe Calc if you are godly
Junior - everything but compsci and psych
Senior - everything</p>
<p>I live in Canada, and my school has the biggest (if not one of the biggest) AP programs in Canada.</p>
<p>At our school we have to pay $120 for each exam we pay. I find that unfair cuz the fee for AP exam from College Board is only $87. No idea where the rest of the money goes… >_></p>
<p>We’re only allowed to take the AP exam if we’re enrolled in the AP course. And we’re only allowed to be enrolled in the AP course if our marks are high enough and they think that we’d get >80% on that course. That mean so self-studying for us :(</p>
<p>I think my school is doing this cuz they want as many 5’s as possible, perhaps so that we wont ruin our school’s reputation? Idk, but I find it kinda annoying = ="</p>
<p>Freshman: None
Sophomore: AP World History, AP Statistics
Junior: Any offered
Senior: Any offered</p>
<p>Self-study is allowed, but only 2 online classes.</p>
<p>My school does it pretty much just like the OP’s. They WANT us to take as many AP’s as possible (they get more money), regardless of whether it makes for an outrageous schedule. They don’t care. You can take as many as you want, at any grade that you choose. The school pays for all of our exams, and if you take the class, you’re required to take the exam or you are placed on the county’s indebtedness list for the fee of the exam. You cannot graduate if you have any debts.</p>
<p>Typical students (not really AP level) are shoved into: Freshman: Human Geo, sophomores AP WH, juniors AP Lang and AP USH, and seniors AP Lit. The rest is up to the individual student.</p>
<p>In my school there’s basically an advanced/ap “track” and a regular track. The AP kids take their first AP (world) soph year. Then Lang/US Junior year and CalcAB/Lit/Gov Senior year.</p>
<p>This year, AP classes were only available to Juniors and Seniors. Next year they are adding AP classes for Sophomores as well. (I’ll be a Senior with no space on my schedule). We are not required to take the AP exam for any class because we have to pay for the exams. But most teachers exempt you from the final if you take the AP exam, no matter what score you end up getting. There are no limits to the number of AP classes we can take, but my school only offers 7.</p>
