No, there’s no way you can take AP tests before the May test date (it’s much different than the standard SAT/ACT, etc.). However, Princeton (and most other schools) do ask you which tests you have taken and plan on taking. So you can plan on taking the ones you think you’ll be most ready for. But be careful…if you put down 6 AP tests you haven’t taken yet (and you haven’t taken any period), it may look like you’re just trying to talk it up, whether or not you are serious about actually taking the test. But be honest, and talk to your guidance counselor about it before you say you will (maybe they can put something that will back up what you say about taking the tests). I guess what i mean is that you need to show Princeton that you really are planning on going above and beyond to take these tests. Does that make sense?
