<p>When people say “I’ve taken 6 APs in high school” when applying for a college, do they mean 6 APs by the end of their junior year, or do they mean by the end of their senior year (when they graduate)?</p>
<p>It usually does include their senior year course load, but it depends on the context. In a “chance me” thread, they may or may not be referring to what they have taken up to that point.</p>
<p>Not counting all four years would be a pretty useless measure.</p>
<p>When they graduate.</p>
