<p>How do you guys register for so many AP exams? My high school refuses to let anyone who is not enrolled in the class to register for the AP exam.</p>

<p>Sophomore:
AP World History
AP Calculus AB</p>

<p>Junior:
AP Calculus BC
AP Psychology
AP Physics B
AP English Language
Was going to do AP Human Geography
Was going to do AP Environmental Science
Was going to do AP Comparative Government</p>

<p>Senior:
AP Chemistry
AP Microeconomics
AP Macroeconomics
AP Statistics
AP English Literature
AP US Government</p>

22

<p>so, you weren’t able to take AP Human Geography, Environmental Science, and Comparative Government? I think you should ask the AP coordinator about it.</p>

23

<p>Looks like I’m a total, utter failure. My APs are:</p>

<p>Sophomore Year:
AP Euro
AP Art History</p>

<p>Junior Year:
AP Stat
AP English Lang
AP US</p>

<p>Senior Year:
AP Bio
AP Calc AB
AP English Lit
AP Psych</p>

<p>Looks like I have a lame 9 altogether.</p>

24

<p>^I believe 5 is the average number that high school students take before graduating. </p>

<p>But here, most likely 8-9. So you shouldn’t feel bad.</p>

25

<p>

</p>

<p>Shouldn’t it be much lower than 5?</p>

26

<p>I should end up taking at least 15, 9 of them before my senior year :)</p>

<p>Good luck guys! Studying for so many exams takes discipline!</p>

27

<p>^^yeah, you’re right. I was just assuming.</p>

28

<p>Its not the number of exams you take, its the exams you take that you pass and get credit for in college. Its pointless to take two AP language courses when you only get credit for one.</p>

29

<p>Junior:
Comp Sci A
English Lang</p>

<p>Senior:
Calc AB (will probably take BC exam)
Physics C
English Lit</p>

<p>At my school 5-6 is probably the upper limit for total number of exams taken. Some people here are too crazy :P</p>

30

<p>this thread makes me sad</p>

31

<p>9th
none</p>

<p>10th
world</p>

<p>11th
chem
bio
language
us history</p>

<p>12th (plan to take)
literature
physics
french
calc
environmental
gov</p>

<p>11 in total…wow, it looks so pathetic compared to everyone else. how do you take 20!!!</p>

32

<p>Wow. I’m such an underachiever.</p>

<p>Soph:
European History (5)
Statistics (5)</p>

<p>Junior:
US History
Chemistry</p>

<p>Senior:
Calculus AB
Calculus BC
US Government
World History
English Literature
Physics C
Art History</p>

<p>11 total. 17 is completely crazy. I’m only taking seven my senior year because I have nothing else to take.</p>

33

<p>Why would you take AB and BC in the same year? You’re not even permitted by the college board to sit for both exams in the same year and BC has AB, the exam even has an AB subscore.</p>

34

<p>^raierade is right because AB and BC exams have some of the same questions every year (in the FR, both shared three questions and there are at least 10 same MC questions in my estimation).</p>

<p>Since you’re planning to AB and BC and that’s not permitted, take BC exam.</p>

35

<p>You can take both. I’m signed up. You take the Calc BC test and get two scores: a BC score and an AB subscore. Technically, it is only one test, but I separated it because I’ll be taking both classes next year. AB first semester, BC second semester as a seminar. That is the way it works at my school, has been done for years. My best friend is taking it this year.</p>

36

<p>The Calculus BC exam is one of the only exams (if not the only) that often provides twice the credit/placement opportunities as any other exam since it assesses competence in the AB curriculum as well.</p>

37

<p>Wait, so next year, I am planning to take AB and BC Cal. I will only be able to take BC exam? Should I just take AB next year and BC senior year then?</p>

38

<p>10-12 exams</p>

39

<p>I will probably graduate having taken 6 AP courses;
Junior Year (Now)
APUSH
AP Govt. and Politics
AP Lang</p>

<p>Senior Year (What I want)
AP Macroeconomics
AP Literature
AP European History
AP Biology?</p>

<p>My School only allows Juniors and Seniors to participate in the AP program so I just started it this school year and I’m stressing over exams.</p>

<p>Perhaps if you wish to devote two years to the subject. Taking both exams in different years (as is the rule) provides no additional credit if you exclusively take the BC exam.</p>
