[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just avoid any school that both has no AP AND doesn't offer the tests.

I think only GDS around here falls into that category.

That way you always have the option to take the test if you want.[/quote]

You can sign up to take tests at Whitman, Churchill and Basis so it's not a big deal.

For anyone who cares, you can ask the teachers what is different about their class vs the AP and most can specifically explain what is different about their class. APs are required to follow a certain order and use AP tests/quizzes. For some private school advanced/upper level classes that replaced APs, the course will cover the AP information, but not on the schedule or using the quizzes/test the AP prescribes. Or they may omit a section in favor of another or add in something extra (ie labs, different novels, extra text books/primary sources, etc). [/quote]

Is this based on actual knowledge?

My understanding is most public schools won’t allow non-students to register for the tests.

Basis seems like the most reasonable option as a charter school.

I believe you also have to sign up by September in the year you plan to take it.

If you know for a fact that Whitman and Churchill allow…that’s good info.[/quote]
