Physics and Chemistry Subject Test prerequisites?

<p>Next year im gonna be a junior and im gonna take physics and chemistry in school. However my school requires the basic class before going to AP so I can only take AP 12th grade, a disadvantage. </p>

<p>Do you need AP to take the physics and chemistry subject test cause college board says one year college level course is recomended. And if you do need AP, I am at huge disadvantage cause I can only take these at the end of senior year but by that time I have to apply to college's.</p>
