There is no requirement from College Board that you take a AP class before taking the AP exam. You are allowed to self-study the material if you so choose. Check with your school on their policy about this - while most will let you take exams, some will not want you to take the exam because it risks lowering their average score. Also, even if your school or state subsidizes AP exam fees, you might have to pay full price ($82?) if you don’t take the class - if depends on school and state policy.
