<p>CAn you take the tests without the class?</p>
<p>If you can, how do you do it? has anyone done this before?</p>
<p>Yes. You just have to sign up for the tests, show up, and then take them. To sign up, just talk to your counselors or perhaps the teacher who teaches the corresponding class.</p>
<p>yep. sign up!
Tell that cordinator who has no idea and will say uh? self study ("i never heard that term?")
and then you will say it's on CB's website. and then they will blabber sign you up and you well say fuhhh glad's that's over with. and then you will self study take test.
Also that's if your school offers ap at all (if not i have no idea, people complained especially home schoolars)</p>
<p>You might have to go to another school to take the test though. </p>
<p>Although it's true for APs, it's not true for IBs.</p>
<p>brainless, I have heard before that by college board's rule, the school cannot refuse one from signing up the the AP test even though he have not taken the class. Do you know exactly where on CB's website spells this out?</p>
<p>My S's school believe that the student should have a solid foundation of math, so prerequisites must be followed exactly and you cannot test out on any math subject. As a result my S will not be allowed to take AP calculus even in his senior year. So the plan is to take the AP test without the class. I can imagine the school will be very unhappy and refuse him to do it. So I need clear documentation that he has to be allowed to take the test.</p>
<p>thanks for replying</p>
<p>no my school offers like 20+ AP classes so i think i will be able to take it by self-studying. but do the AP tests days ever coincide with each other?</p>
<p>Yes, they do. For example, APUSH (US History) and Euro History were on the same day last year.</p>
<p>there is a timetable on the Collegeboad website. I think its under the calendar section of AP exams</p>
