POLL: When does your high school first allow you to take AP classes?

Pre-College Topics High School Life
21

<p>You can’t take any your freshman year. You can take one AP class your sophomore year (AP World or Euro). You can take unlimited AP classes your junior and senior years.</p>

22

<p>My school is pretty strict on keeping APs for sophomores and up, but I know someone that was able to squeeze through and take AP Psych freshman year.</p>

23

<p>Junior year, but you can take 4 that year and 6 the next so we make up for it. And our honors classes are really good.</p>

24

<p>Sophomore year you can take AP Euro, AP Chem (provided you did Chem I), AP Bio (provided you did Bio I), AP Psych, or AP Computer Programming. Freshman year you can’t take any.</p>

25

<p>Freshman year and only APHG</p>

26

<p>A freshman is taking AP Spanish Language with me, and if you had an aptitude for/background in computer science, you could take AP CompSci as a freshman. There are probably other classes, I’m sure.</p>

27

<p>Sophomore year. And you can only do AP Euro and/or an AP math class.</p>

28

<p>My school offers AP Human Geo and AP Calc BC to freshman…
of course I would never take Calc as I would die</p>

29

<p>Freshman year, if you qualify via placement tests.</p>

30

<p>In my school, you need to have certain classes under your belt before taking some AP classes. Starting Freshman year, I could take AP World, and that was basically it. Sophomore, it’s really only AP Euro. Starting Junior is when you can take AP psych, having taken psych honors in 10th, and only if you were advanced in math were you allowed to take AP math classes. Same for science.</p>

31

<p>Possibly freshman year if somebody is way ahead in something, though I never heard of it happening. Usually the earliest is AP World for sophomores.</p>

32

<p>At my school AP starts on Freshmen year.
But, you can only take AP World History.</p>

33

<p>My school is getting three new AP classes this year. </p>

<p>Here are their weird policies for them:</p>

<p>AP US History: 10th graders ONLY, because it’s history and history is always easy.
AP Statistics: Juniors and seniors only, because it’s math and math is always hard.
AP Language: Juniors only. Seniors must take Lit.</p>

34

<p>theoretically, freshmen year. there’s no rule that says freshmen can’t take APs, but you need prerequisites to take APs at my school, which freshmen don’t have since they haven’t taken any classes yet. there’s a freshmen in my AP calc class though. I’m not sure how he got in. he either took both algebra 2 and precalc and trig over the summer or was homeschooled.</p>

<p>there are grade requirements for some individual AP classes though</p>

35

<p>Freshman year, but basically only AP Human Geography, although some people I know also took AP World History second semester of freshman year.</p>

36

<p>At my school they start offering AP classes sophomore year. You can take AP biology, AP European history, and AP stats (you can only take AP stats if you took algebra 2 first)</p>

37

<p>You can only take AP Euro sophomore year, and none as a freshman.</p>

38

<p>Some freshman are allowed to take AP Human Geography. You have to qualify for it with your 8th grade ISAT scores. I was homeschooled 7th and 8th grade, so I never took the ISAT therefore I never qualified to take AP Human Geo. :frowning: </p>

<p>Most of the good AP’s are usually taken junior and senior year.</p>

<p>AP Human Geography - Freshman Year</p>

40

<p>Sophomore year - AP pretty much anything if preqs are met. Freshmen in other schools who take AP’s are widely scorned by everyone here.</p>
