Making up AP Exams

im pretty new to CC—
I’m a junior in High School and I am taking AP English, though, I feel like I’m not prepared enough for taking the AP Exam. Is it possible to not take it this year though make the exam up next year (senior year?)

If you feel like you’re not prepared this year while you’re taking the class, imagine how unprepared you’ll feel taking it next year without being enrolled in the class. AP exams are tough, but it’s inportant that you study hard and just try your best. Ask your teacher to help you with the stuff you’re struggling with, or buy a test prep book and study from that.

Agreed. Take it this year, or don’t take it at all. Follow the advice above for preparing.

You can take an AP exam if you’re not in the class, and you can decide not to take the exam even if you’re taking the class. I’d have to agree with the above though.

If it helps, you can retake the exam next year if you end up doing poorly on this one. It would be another ~$100 down the hole but it’s still an option if the money’s not a huge deal for you.
