If you scroll down and open the doc for AP Scholar data in 2011, you will see that out of nearly 393,000 AP Scholars, eleven were students who were not yet in ninth grade. So, it does happen, rarely, but these kids are ready for the exams. (I have heard of students taking AP exams before high school and doing poorly, too, to be fair.) Most thirteen-year-olds could not do it, but a few can.
