<p>Junior: AP english lang self studying: AP us gov</p>
<p>Senior: AP physics B, AP calc AB</p>
<p>There are a lot of schools that offer fewer than 9 APs. And 5 is not an unreasonable limit. It shouldn’t affect you adversely since you are maxing out with 5 anyway.</p>
<p>As to your original question, I’m not sure what kind of answer you’re looking for. Of course it’s limited, since there is an established maximum. But again, it’s not that low of a limit.</p>
<p>I would say yes… But I’m only comparing it to my own school.</p>
<p>We have about 30 AP classes, but freshman & sophomores can’t take any.
There aren’t limits on how many juniors and seniors can take, but you have to qualify for certain AP classes. (For example, you can’t just take AP Spanish, you have to take Spanish I, II, and III first).</p>
<p>But if you’re worried about colleges thinking you didn’t take enough AP classes, most say that they look at if you take advantage of all the opportunities you have at your school, which I would say you do.</p>
<p>There’s really no prerequisites for any of the AP classes to be honest just high (explore/plan) (the PSAT’s to the ACT) scores which aren’t an indication of anything.</p>
<p>oh and we do have AP Spanish my bad lol</p>
<p>Taking a few more or a few fewer APs isn’t going to make a big difference. 5 APs is just fine. I took no AP tests frosh year, one as a sophomore, four last year (actually three, but AP Phys C has two parts), and I plan on taking no AP tests senior year.</p>
<p>My son just finished his junior year, and has taken 8 AP courses, and that’s in Florida, which is not known to be an educational mecca.</p>
<p>And this year, his senior year, I think he is taking 6 more.</p>
<p>So yes, your school does seem very limiting.</p>
<p>It may not necessarily matter though, as long as you have a good gpa and standardized test scores.</p>
<p>My school is even more limited. No freshman/sophomores are able to to take any AP’s, the only AP juniors can take is APUSH, and normally seniors can only take 2 or 3 AP’s (but I and my friends pushed for another one to be added). So by the time I apply to colleges this winter, I’ll only have one score :(</p>
<p>Your lucky! Ha my school only has 4 
Us Gov, APUSH, Chem, and Lit</p>
<p>My school has no APs. Be grateful haha</p>
<p>The list you give includes most of the “core” ones, including English language and literature, and calculus AB (but calculus BC and physics C are missing).</p>
<p>On the other hand, given that you said in another thread that most students in calculus AB fail the test even though the course is a double period and requires study during break periods, your school should really concentrate on giving students adequate preparation for AP or college level work, rather than adding more AP tests. The lack of adequate preparation for AP or college level work is really what is limiting at your school.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It is normal for AP tests to be heavily concentrated in one’s senior year.</p>
<p>Think about it: most students take AP courses and tests because they are (theoretically) ready for college level work early. Being one year ahead means taking the college-equivalent course as a senior in high school. Fewer high school juniors, and even fewer high school sophomores and freshmen, are ready for actual college level work.</p>
<p>Your school offers all of the most popular AP exams and it is pretty varied, so I would say that your school isn’t too limited on AP exams.</p>
<p>You can, however, self study for AP exams if you want to boost your application. Your school doesn’t offer AP Environmental Science, Human Geography, and Psychology, which are arguably the easiest AP exams to self study for.</p>
<p>You can also teach your self the Calc BC topics as you are taking AB calculus.</p>
<p>My school offers 1 AP class (AP Calculus), but no one actually takes the exam for it. I think your school sounds pretty good as far as AP classes go.</p>
<p>You have a few more than mine does.</p>
<p>Mine offers:</p>
<p>To sophomores:
AP Euro</p>
<p>To Juniors:
APUSH
AP Lang</p>
<p>To Seniors:
AP Lit
AP US Gov’t
AP Bio
AP Calc AB (select group).
AP Spanish Lang (select group).</p>
<p>On paper we offer AP Studio Art, which is just where you sit in the art room and give your portfolio to the teacher who may or may not lose it before it’s time to send it in. XD</p>
<p>We also offer AP Chem on paper, but it turned into Physics. We don’t know if they’re taking the AP Physics exam or not…</p>
<p>I took:
Junior:
AP Euro (first year offered)
APUSH
AP Lang</p>
<p>Taking as a senior:
AP Gov.</p>
<p>I’m taking a few classes at the college (Psych, College Algebra, Writing I, and Sociology). I was supposed to be in AP Calc and AP Spanish, but my schedule was screwed up freshman year which created a domino effect.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Your school has most of the common AP classes. The one that really stands out as missing is Calculus BC. Also, it has 2 histories, which is respectable but not a lot (I would consider 3 a lot). So no, in general it’s not lacking except the glaring BC.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think this varies from school to school. I know many schools where this is so, however I also know many that allow juniors to take lots of APs as well, and at these places most kids load up on APs junior year in order to have more time for college applications in senior year (and relaxation for the latter half, I suppose).</p>
<p>My school offers 4: Lit, Stats, Biology, and Spanish. Each class has no more than 9 people.
My Bio class has 4 people, and last year’s Spanish had 4 people.
None of the other important ones like APUSH, English Language, Calc, Physics, or Chem are offered.</p>
