[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP-people here are speculating.  Each HS is different.  HSs DO have the ability (or at least 3 or 4 years ago they had the ability) to waive the prereq to the AP science courses.  But whether they will do that or not depends on the school.  They sometimes say no because it would open the floodgates to other students asking for the same thing, and they don't have good criteria to use to make that decision.   (Getting a high AP score would be a way to make the argument, but it's not the only way.)  A few years ago, our HS changed prereq policies abruptly one year when a new principal arrived.  They claimed that many of the students waiving the prereq weren't really prepared, and they didn't have a way of knowing which ones ahead of time, so they just started enforcing the prereq.)

If you have an 8th grader, you can contact the HS counselor associated with your last name, explain the situation, and ask.  The HS counselors will in any case be meeting with 8th graders in like Jan or Feb, but it sounds like you'd like info earlier and I think they would be responsive to the question... they just may not give you the answer you'd like.
