AP Calculus AB
AP Statistics

AP English Literature & Composition
AP English Language

AP Music Theory

AP Spanish

AP Biology

(Usually there isn't enough demand for all 3, so only 1 or 2 will be available; this year was only AP Physics, and last year was only AP Bio and AP Chem).

My school offers:

AP Biology
AP Calculus
AP Literature
AP U.S. Government
AP U.S. History
AP Physics B
AP Spanish

A few years ago, it offered AP Music Theory. I'm the only one, who hasn't graduated, that took it.

My school was supposed to have an AP Art History, but the demand for it wasn't enough and my assistant principal wouldn't allow it.

I wonder if anybody else has a lot of kids that take tests without the class. For instance, I know a good chunk of music-whizzes taking the AP Music Theory and I'm taking AP German Language after 4 years of German. Do you guys see this often?

We only have two:
-Ap Gov
-Ap Bio

We are adding Eng Lit the year after I graduate, but I just found out that one of the gifted teachers will let me self study APs after everyone else (teachers and guidance) said no.

My school has 2..

AP US History
AP English Lang.

and you have to be atleast a junior to take either one. However a lot of parents complained that there are not enough "opportunities for the gifted" so the school board added micro, bio, chem, US gov, and AP English lit. to next year's curriculum.

Some schools have people that self-study AP tests. In my school, some seniors, this year including me, are going to self-study some tests, such as Psychology.

Biology
Calc AB/BC
Chemistry
Macro/Micro Econ (maybe)
English Language
English Lit
European History
Human Geography
Physics B
Psychology
Statistics
US History
World History

So 15 APs, which is more than I thought. Some people who are really good at languages take the language exam, but I don't think they're offered otherwise. My school is also an IB school, but we manage to fit in AP as well (everyone takes at least 6 by the time they graduate, if not more).
