<p>My school prohibits students from self-studying APs.
I want to self-study for psych and calc BC (taking AB), though.</p>
<p>Do I just give up, or is there a way around this unfairness?</p>
<p>You cannot take AB and BC Calculus in the same year.</p>
<p>^ He means he is taking the AP class for Calc AB, but wishes to take the exam for BC (self study for the BC half)</p>
<p>There is a way around this…get your parents involved. Your school CAN NOT prohibit you from taking ANY AP exams. Fight with theeee school. TP the counselors’ offices if you must :D</p>
<p>but for Psych, i email CB about this same issue (although i was able to convince my school to allow it) you can take an exam at an alt testing site (i.e. a surrounding school) find out who will let you and call their AP admin before January</p>
<p>Yeah, like what user3725 said, I’m taking the AB class, but self-studying for the BC exam.
Aaron100, thanks so much for your advice.</p>
<p>Another question:</p>
<p>Do I need to tell my AP admin that I’m taking it at a different location or
do I just tell the other school’s AP admin only?</p>
<p>Believe me, if you tell the Collegeboard that your school is preventing you from giving hundreds of dollars to the Collegeboard, trust me they will definitely persuade your school or threaten some action by not letting you take the tests. Maybe not legal action, but they might pressure the school. I mean how do people that get homeschooled take APs? I’d figure my way around that.</p>
<p>no, CB won’t do anything I asked, in the end I won so i can Self-study</p>
<p>but i email CB, they told me what I told mniyks</p>
<p>and I would inform your AP admin, and if they tell you no you can’t do that, ignore them, AP tests don’t have anything to do with the highschool, CB will put it all in the same report, and your admins will have to get over it </p>
<p>I can forward the email from CB to you, PM me you email if you want</p>
<p>I think I’ll call the GC office at a nearby school and ask.
Hope they say yes!</p>
