<p>S is taking no AP courses now, but he’s just a freshman. 
He’ll take one AP test in May; he’s self-studying for it.</p>
<p>He’ll probably have 5 by the time he’s done: psych, calc, govmint, compsci, and a science, either physics, chem, or bio. </p>
<p>I know that back in the Dark Ages when I was in high school, at least a few AP courses were offered; I took the AP English test without taking the AP English course (no studying for it; I was a walk-in). I took Adv. Bio, but don’t remember whether that was considered AP Bio or not; that was the only course with “advanced” in the title that I took, and I didn’t take the test for it.</p>
