Completing AP course outside the school

Parents Forum

My son will be taking calculus (mostly AP calculus AB) in junior year. He wants to pursue one of the Eng degrees, so AP Physics is kinda important to him.

From the responses I have gotten, I infer that my son has following options in junior year:

  1. Enroll in Physics 1 in HS, and take AP Physics exam from outside (like ucscout)
  2. Dual-enroll in HS & Community college, and see if that combo can result in AP Physics 1 on the HS transcript

Am I interpreting this correctly? TIA.
