<p>Riporin, yes there are certain requirements to be met in order to call a class an AP class. One of those requirements is that the text must be approved and the syllabus must include what will be covered on the test. If his high school offers other AP classes, I’m guessing that they purposely chose not to make this calculus class an AP course. Ideally his school would offer a choice of this class and an AP one designed to prepare the students for the AP exam.</p>
