<p>I have been enrolled in my AP physics class since the beginning the year, I didn't do well the first and second quarter, i decided to drop the class and take regular level physics class. I have already signed up for the AP exam and paid for it, I also learned all the materials that i needed to know to pass the AP exam. However, my school notified me recently that i am not negligible to take the AP exam, and the reasoning is i am no longer enrolled in an AP class. In my understanding, the college board policy does not say that i have to be enroll in an AP class to take the AP exam, therefore i feel like the school have violated my right to take the AP exam? Is that possible that i can sue the school?</p>
<p>I don’t think you can sue, but you should probably inform them that you have the right to take the exam, unless of course your school has a policy that says otherwise. I don’t believe the College Board has any regulations for taking their exams in regard to whether you were in the class. I know tons of people who didn’t even take a particular AP class and just took the AP exam for those classes for their own enrichment.</p>
<p>i didnt actually mean to sue the school. I just wanted to know if the school has the ability to do that. the College Board states clearly “You dont have to be enrolled in an AP class to take the AP exam”. Does the school have the right to make a policy that says i have to be in an ap class to take the ap exam?</p>
<p>You can certainly take the exam. Simply request a school counselor (or have your teacher help you) or someone to let you take the test. You taking the exam will only make the school look better so I don’t see why they would logically not let you take it. </p>
<p>If not, ask for a refund and take it at another school? Collegeboard is alright with late deadlines.</p>
<p>If my school refuses to let me take the test, can I file a lawsuit?</p>
<p>I really do not think that would be logical or plausible. The most sensible thing you can do is to</p>
<ol>
<li>present evidence and have your school call collegeboard (enlist a teacher to help you)</li>
<li>if not, kindly request an explanation and/or refund</li>
<li>proceed to take the exam next year or at a different school</li>
</ol>
<p>I hope the process goes smoothly. If you present evidence to your school there should be no need for a lawsuit. Calling collegeboard should definitely be something that your (and school) does since schools have to be “AP-certified” so they have to abide by collegeboard rules with a certain margin of freedom (ie. if they cannot accommodate a time/place for you to take the exam, it might be reason for you not taking the exam, but as always check with collegeboard)</p>
<p>You are going to pay an attorney thousands of dollars to recover the $80 or so you aid to take the test? Do what SleepingAway says and pray you get a 4 or 5 or you’re going to look like a fool. Why did you drop the AP class? Too hard?</p>
<p>I dropped the AP class not 100% on my behave. I did badly almost the entire first semester and i violated a lot of school rules. So the Principle and teachers started to focus on me, they “forced” me to drop couple of classes simply because they wanted my transcript looks better which i found out later was unreasonable. and the teacher who told me i couldnt take the ap exam was one of them. I am pretty much one of the most hated person in the district. the decision of declining me to take the ap exam isnt as sample as ur guys think</p>
