<p>Has he heard that from someone local? I’m acquainted with parents here whose children have done any of the things suggested above, local university classes, local community college classes, EPGY distance learning classes, or other distance learning classes. Math classes do vary in quality, and some college admission offices would look into the quality differences, but mostly the right idea is to keep taking math and, yes, take the appropriate AP test for the math your child has covered. College policies in admission vary enough that exactly how the course is taken may not be the major issue, unless the local reputation of the community college is very poor indeed. (Some community colleges are great, and regularly transfer a lot of students to the flagship state university. I have no idea what the local reputation is of the college your son is doubtful about, but that would be an issue to check, for his motivation as much as for any other reason.) </p>
<p>Good luck figuring out what to do.</p>
