<p>By the time I graduate, I’ll have taken 4. My school only offers 7-8 and most of them are solely for seniors. :D</p>
<p>The average at my large public high school in Ohio is probably 0-1 exam(s). I took 4 and was in the top 7% in my class.</p>

<p>I hope to be the AP state scholar next year. :)</p>
<p>^ just looking at that list makes me squirm…</p>
<p>I’ll have 5 AP classes but 6/7 exams by the time I graduate, so I suppose I’m just a little above average at my school.</p>
<p>I am taking 6 APs overall, nothin much compared to 21 APs!</p>
<p>I think the average at my school is 3 APs. The top smartest/most successful people I know from my school took 1 AP sophomore year (some person may have taken 2 though), 3 junior year, and 5 senior year.
I took one this year, and I’m being allowed to take 4 as a junior next year. Then, I want to take 5 senior year.
So, I’m taking 10 AP classes by the end of high school and I know that’s going to be the most in my class. I may end up studying for a few tests… at most, I could study for 3-4 tests probably?</p>
<p>I really did get a messed up view of APs thanks to College Confidential…</p>
<p>The average in my school would probably be about 5-6 APs, and I’m planning to take 7-9</p>
<p>My school doesn’t tend to offer many APs – I don’t know anyone who’s taken more than 6, and the average is probably around 3. I’ll be graduating with AP Latin, AP BC Calc, and AP Music Theory.</p>
<p>But we have a really high Ivy admit rate…it’s all about the context of the school</p>
<p>The average for all the graduating classes so far is probably around 2-3.
For my class, it’ll probably be more around 4-5.
I’ll be taking 5.</p>
<p>The average, among the kids who take any, is 2 (there’s only 3 offered). Next year there’s going to be like three new ones so it’ll go up.</p>
<p>It varies largely based on grade and from school to school. There really is no average since some small school might only offer three or four AP classes while large public schools could be offering 20+</p>
<p>By the time I graduate I’ll have taken 8. </p>

<p>I think it would be more helpful to look at the average numbers among those who have taken at least one. For me, it’s going to be something like 5-6 if I’m lucky…My school offers 11 I think but you can’t take them until junior year (well you can theoretically take them earlier but it won’t happen) and I’m in a dual-enrollment track for math/english so I won’t be taking math/english AP classes (I might take the tests anyway…we’ll see). On another note, I feel that our relatively high number of courses offered is sort of misleading because we don’t have any of the “interesting” ones and our passage rates are pathetically low.</p>
<p>It’s impossible to find out</p>
<p>In my school, the average is 4-6. I’ll be graduating with 16-17.</p>
<p>Well, for me, I have 1 sophomore year, four junior year, and six senior year along with 2-5 self studies.</p>
<p>The average student in the USA probably takes none. </p>
<p>The average college-bound student at my hs will take 1-3 as a junior and again as a senior. I took one as a soph and will take four as a junior and two as a senior. </p>
<p>Don’t be pressured to take a dozen ap courses because of what you see on cc. I think that two or three a year is a good number for a driven student.</p>
<p>At my school, my class (c/o 2013) will average anywhere from 4-7 APs from the top half of the class. Overall, over half my class will take at least one.</p>
<p>The class of 2012’s average was 3 per student in the top half of the class, and 1 overall.</p>
<p>The class of 2014 will take at least 2 in their high school career. Well, everyone who has at least a C- in their classes due to this grant from EXONN Mobil where my school has to increase the number of kids in the AP program every year or else we have to pay all of the money back. For a school with only about 160-180 kids per grade, this is a large problem. We don’t have THAT many smart kids. Definitely the bulk of them should not be taking an AP class. But that’s the mess we’ve gotten ourselves into.</p>
<p>As far as the rest of the nation is concerned, the average AP classes a student takes is 0, as made clear by other posters.</p>
<p>My school has tons of aps so I. Gonna take lots</p>
