<p>I was just recently told that you can only take an AP test once and only once. My teacher told me that if you take the Calculus AB AP exam (pass or fail) and then try to take the Calculus BC AP exam next year then college board won't allow you to take the BC test. Is this true? Because I want to take the English Language exam again, can I take this exam again? I've looked though AP central and no where does it say anything like this.
If anyone has taken the same AP test twice can you tell me which subject and what does it have on the score report. Does it have two grades on the report or just one grade for that specific exam.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure you can take the same exam again. It's just that you can't take the same exam twice in one year.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure thats completely untrue...
...but don't quote me on it.</p>
<p>my teacher, in trying to persuade me to stay in AB, told me otherwise</p>
<p>Is anyone out there no for sure because I really want to take the English Language again but I need confirmation. Either that my Calculus teacher doesn't know what he is talking about.</p>
<p>The best place to get the good answer is from the College Board.</p>
<p>How many times can I repeat an AP Exam?</p>
<p>You can take an AP Exam each time it is offered (AP Exams are offered once a year in May). Your grade report will include your grades for all the AP Exams you have taken, including yearly "repeats" of the same subject exam.</p>
<p>Indeed, I have had a few students who have repeated taking the AP Calculus AB exam itself.</p>
<p>[EDIT: What your teacher may have been thinking of is that it's forbidden to take the AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC exams in the same year. Both tests are administered at the same time, and AP Calculus BC students receive an AP Calculus AB subscore, which is the reason for not allowing BC students to take the AB test in the same school year.<a href="Another%20reason%20for%20forbidding%20this%20is%20that%20there%20are%20some%20overlapping%20questions%20between%20the%20AB%20and%20the%20BC%20exams,%20and%20even%20though%20the%20make-up%20exam%20is%20different,%20many%20of%20the%20same%20kinds%20of%20topics%20will%20appear%20on%20the%20make-up%20exam%20for%20one%20as%20appeared%20on%20the%20original%20exam%20for%20the%20other.">/I</a> However, there's no reason why you couldn't take the 2008 AP Calculus AB test and the 2009 AP Calculus BC test. In fact, there are many schools that deliberately structure these classes that way, so that students *will take both tests in consecutive years.]</p>
<p>Thanks for the input; I am going to have one stern talk with my Calculus teacher about this.</p>
<p>Give 'em hell >: D</p>
<p>You can take AB next year, or you can take BC.</p>
<p>You can take the same AP test twice. I've seen people do it before. The College Board has no right to not allow you to take Calculus BC, but the main problem would be acceptance into the high school course. Otherwise, you might have to pay $80 to take it.</p>
<p>Okay thanks everyone for your comments and helpful hints, I'll tell my teacher this right in front of everyone to see his reaction. I didn't tell him yesterday since my school is in block schedule.</p>
<p>I would strongly recommend the avoidance of trying to "show up your teacher".</p>
<p>Your teacher is someone who more than likely is on your side. This could be one of a number of issues:</p>
<p>(1) Your teacher misspoke.
(2) Your teacher might have been mistaken.
(3) You misunderstood your teacher.
(4) Your school might have a policy where they don't pay for exams for students who take both courses, and it might have been implied that it was a College Board policy.</p>
<p>All "showing up the teacher" will do is alienate that teacher and reduce the likelihood that this teacher will want to help you.</p>
