Need help on finding an AP school to take exam

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>I go to a school where only some APs are offered. All 3 of the exams I want to take this year is not offer at my school. I haven't ask my counselor if the school will agree to administer the exams for me because my school have this kind of mind that students shouldn't try to "overload" themselves. Plus one of my exams I want to take is APES which will be offer at that school sometimes in the future and the prerequisite is Bio + Chem. Since I only have Bio now if I ask the counselor she will all telling me to not do it because it's hard and I am not ready blah blah blah and start calling teachers all over the building. It's hectic. So my questions are:
1/ If a school doesn't offer the AP courses I want to take, will it agree to administer that exam? What if I am the only one who take it?
2/ I am not a home school student but could I take my exams at some other school besides my home school? Do you think that school will accept or they have to contact my counselor and make the simple matter big?</p>

<p>What is your advice for me? </p>

<p>I tried to email the AP service twice addressing the question but each time all I get is a pretyped letter with the school that I could contact and a note saying I should tell them that I'm a HOME SCHOOL student and blah blah blah. They did not even try to read the email. The school they gave me is my school. It did not help me very much.</p>

<p>Thank you very much and please help me because it is very crucial for me to take these exams this year but not have to go through the "no, you can't" talk with my counselors and a bunch of teacher I know my counselor will call to "consult."</p>

<p>Unfortunately, your school does not have to offer the AP exams you want to take. I recently checked this out with the College Board. Personally, I believe that the College Board should not leave this up to each school. However, that is the reality of the matter. So if your school will not offer the exams, you will have to find a nearby school that will allow you take the exams. I hope you live in an area with a number of high schools. Good luck.</p>

<li>your school can order the AP tests just for you, but they don’t have to.
2.you can take AP tests at other schools, it would be better to check their websites first to find out which school offers thses AP courses. I called 3 schools, 2 rejected me, one said ok, i just handed in money today.</li>
</ol>

<p>good luck.</p>

<p>Thank you very much for all of your replies. Can my school really order 1 exam for me? without proctoring? Or does my school have to pay one proctor just for me? I found 2 exams at one high school 30mins from home. One more, APHuG - I still can’t find one?
I am still open for suggestions.
Do you think I should make a 1 hr 45 mins just to take APHuG? (Yesterday, I found a school that administers APHuG but it’s far away - better than last time I check, it’s 3hrs away.)
Please help me. Thank you very much.</p>
