<p>The title is the question. Thanks ahead!!!</p>
<p>Um... 99.9% :)</p>
<p>Yeah pretty much most.</p>
<p>You mean, in one's own time, outside of school? </p>
<p>I don't think schools are allowed to stop you. :]</p>
<p>That's what self-study means.. you don't do it through school.. by yourself.. without your school..</p>
<p>Ditto what everyone else said.</p>
<p>Only one district I know around my city that has it where they pay the $70 test fee at the very beginning of the year so if they take the AP class, it is mandatory $70 but I don't know if otherway around or not.</p>
<p>All of them. You register for AP tests with or without your school, either way you can take whatever ones you want.</p>
<p>^ Not mine. They refuse to order the extra tests.</p>
<p>^Then you could typically take it at another (nearby) school.</p>
<p>^ Yea, I've never even taken a standardized / AP test at my school. I take them at the local high school instead.</p>
<p>I don't think my school allows self-studying AP Classes due to the fact that our district pays for our AP tests. BUT some teachers may reccomend you to take a certain test( For example, my physics teacher approached me and asked me if i wanted to take the AP Physics B test and said that he would sign me up if i wanted to) if you qualify or show demonstrated interest.</p>

<p>This is one of those glorious incidents where there is most likely no policy... when someone finally asks, a wise idiot goes into an empty room, thinks for 30 seconds and then relays his or her judgment (initial thoughts) like scripture.</p>
<p>No one doubts that you can self-study for the test. But I think the issue here is whether or not high schools allow you to self-study for course credit. I doubt that very many do that.</p>
<p>Wait so you can self-study any AP course even if it isn't offered at your school? What if you go to a private school?</p>
<p>we can self study if we pay for the test (well we pay for all the tests anyway), but we don't get a high school credit for it. and i think that if your hs doesn't allow you to take the test there, you can take it at another high school.</p>
<p>I've been enlightened on this matter. Thank you to all who have replied. May you be rewarded for your selflessness.</p>
<p>OK, you know that i'm not like that right? That was just a sarcastic way to say "Thanks a lot for the helpful replies!".</p>

I would think... like 0.0001%... that is if you don't count study halls and "independent study" classes. I assume we mean that:
1. No time is allotted during the school day
2. No teacher is assisting
3. Credit is based on AP exam score</p>
<p>In my school, you must have a teacher "supervise." However, they aren't necessarily teaching you anything. I think they just want to have to have someone in charge of you.</p>

Yeah, same here.</p>
<p>But then I call CollegeBoard and take it at another school.</p>
