    Must you be in High School? What about home educated high school students? We've only used their resources but not taken any exams.

    High School & Homeschooled Students

    How Do I Enroll?

    http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/about.html

    Once you've decided to take the AP challenge it's easy to enroll.

    Talk to an AP teacher or the AP Coordinator at your school about the course you want to take. Discuss the course's workload and any preparation you might need.

    If you are a homeschooled student or attend a school that doesn't offer AP, you can still participate. Each year hundreds of students participate through independent study. Some states even sponsor online AP courses.

    Adults cant take AP courses?

    I think high school students ages 18 and below can take these exams.
    They are very challenging. Some of them seem very challenging.

    Otherwise, if you know adults can take these exams. Let me know.
