<p>thats strange that the school doesnt let you take ap's prior to junior/senior year. you can take any ap you meet the prereqs for at my school regardless of year. i remember after u.s. hist in 9th grade was ap gov for us in 10th grade.</p>
<p>I too, was not allowed to take any APs as a freshman, and only 1 (AP World) was permitted for sophmore year.
1 sophmore year(world=2 on exam)
2 junior year(eng lit, us history=4 on both exams)
4 senior year(Bio,eng lang, us govt and spanish lang)
1+2+4=7 APs.</p>
<p>If I could go back a few years, I would've self studied for a few APs. As of now I'm taking Calc BC, Chem, Stats, Eng Lit, and Span Lang. However, now I realize that I should've self-studied a few AP's soph and junior year back when I hardly had any homework to do. I probably would've done Micro/Macro, US Hist, Psych, and maybe a couple more. It's too late for that now.</p>
<p>our val has taken 19. this year, we've got freshman taking 3-4 and sophomores in 6. and of course juniors and seniors with anywhere from 7 to 10 (possible with classes that have 2 ap tests like econ or gov or physics). yay for my school's love of newsweek rankings. i <3 grade inflation, haha.</p>
<p>Freshman: (1) AP Art History (3)
Sophomore: (3) AP Calculus BC, AP Physics B, AP Spanish Language* Self-study: (1-6) CS AB, Psych, Stats, Physics C (Both), English language </p>
<p>Who knows about Junior/Senior</p>
<p>*Taking the college equivalent... not sure if I'll take the test</p>
<p>As you can tell, I'm still not true what I'm actually going to self-study.</p>
<p>You guys shouldn't complain, my school doesn't offer APs.</p>
<p>has ur dd ever thought about getting a life? and did u know that the first 4 exams mean nothing? seriously, y would u let ur dd (wat does dd mean anyways? daughter?) do that? so many questions for parents who let their kids ruin their young life....</p>
<p>What on earth is the point of taking 3 and 5 in 9th and 10th grade then completely slacking off in 11th and 12th? If those are the only AP's the school offers, then why not be smart and spread them out more?</p>
<p>Also, how much time did your child spend on non academic stuff freshman year? It's hard enough to adjust to HS without three AP classes. I can't imagine she did anything but go straight home and study (which I also suspect she's doing in 10th).</p>
<p>Planned:
10th grade: 5 (Physics C Mech, Physics C E&M, Bio, Spanish, World Hist)
11th grade: 2 (English Lang & Comp, US Hist)
12th grade: 1 (Euro)

<p>I also have to agree that this looks a bit strange. I can only imagine that your daughter lacks AP courses after 10th grade because she will be in college classes. I applaud parents who allow their children to take classes at their level. My parents keep encouraging me to take standard courses so I can do "work around the house." There is an 8th grader in my online AP Calculus BC course (1 of his 3).... Your daughter is lucky to have parents looking for these opportunities. In my online AP Physics course I'm the first sophomore in the instructor's 34 years of teaching; I'm also the only non-senior in the class this year. I read your post about the online courses your daughter has taken. If this is something your child wants, you are doing the right thing.</p>
