Yes, but most schools will still order the exam for you even if they don't teach the class meant to prepare you for the exam. If they're unwilling to do this, change schools.

Out of curiosity, how much do you know already? If you program on your own, there's a good chance you already know the majority of what's on the exam anyway.

Also, consider just challenging the courses for credit once you get to university.

Yes, it is in java. Its not a hard exam at all though. I screwed up one of the long answer questions big time, and I still got a 5. One thing you should do is make sure you familiarize yourself with the case study that will be on the exam (it was called grid world last year, it may change this year, but not necessarily). An AP prep book will cover everything else, as nothing else changes from year to year, be sure to buy one with sample multiple choice questions though. For preparing for the long answer, they release all the old questions on the college board website (not the multiple choice questions though) Also, you don't need parental permission to take an AP exam, so as long as you can make up some sort of excuse to be studying, you shouldn't have a problem.

For other majors, Precalc may act as a required class.

All intro courses but I remain terrified of being overwhelmed by the courseload. I've spent my years in the public school system avoiding all work and procrastinating what little I actually did to the last possible moment. Trite situation, yes, but I've essentially spent the last 5 years devoid of academic or really any responsibility. I just know acquainting myself with the depressing uni grind is going to be really fucking hard, especially because I'm entering the situation with so little motivation and a vague understanding of the career I'm pursuing.

Also fuck my university because required textbooks are only being offered in physical copies and I can't find pdfs online. Are course administrators just unaware how much lugging shit around sucks?

Look, uni is nowhere near as bad as you are describing. I was exactly like you in high school - never did any work, slept every day, never studied, and then proceeded to still get pretty decent grades; basically all As. Once I got to uni though, knowing I needed to apply myself, I had no problem studying every day and doing the necessary course work. Make yourself enjoy your studies, be amazed by the wonder of learning and don't imprint the idea in your mind that studying is a grind - studying is how you learn, how you become well versed with knowledge.

On topic, this semester I have:

Cell structure and Function
General Chemistry 1
Calc II
Physics: Electromagnetism and Optics

Nothing too bad, just a large load of work.

[Anonymous No.3623037]

I see all these people bragging about taking 21 credits and what not. At my school if you want to take more than 12 credits per semester, you have to write a letter of intent to the dean of students and get your extra class approved. They also don't let you work more than 20 hours a week at a job. That is because unlike the day care center for young adults that you fools call schools, my school is actually academically rigorous.

[Anonymous No.3623103]

Comments on classes:

I don't know why the fuck they make me take multivariable 1, since it's just partial derivatives and shit, which I had to know pretty well to get through physics and diff eq. All the good stuff in multivar is in the second term anyway. They really ought to let me take a test for that or something.

Yes, I know, religious studies class, blah blah blah. I needed it for gen ed (I'm a transfer student so I got royally fucked over on my gen ed credits) and I took that particular class to shut my grandmother the fuck up. Her words when told I was going to take it "Well maybe you'll meet a nice Jewish girl".

I haven't been to a synagogue for a religious service since my second cousin's bar mitzvah like 15 years ago. I don't really see how I could be much less active in being a Jew. I mean, some family traditions survive, but I certainly don't really do anything overtly Jewish other than complain a lot and occasionally swear in yiddish. Despite my lineage technically qualifying me for all the normal Jewish shit, I don't really see how I was ever really in any way involved enough to be able to abandon it.

I see. My dad was a full-blooded practicing Jew (lived in Jerusalem for a few years) until he was 16 or so, at which point he studied other religions and eventually became an atheist.

Yeah, I can understand that that would be tough. Fortunately that decision was made for me a couple generations back. My grandparents come from really strict orthodox families, and they just kinda didn't much care. So they left Ohio (where all the rest of my mother's side of the family lives today) and moved to the west coast where they raised my mother and uncle as reform (Or as my great aunt would say: atheists with a sense of tradition) and then they stopped giving a shit entirely by the time they reached adulthood. My mom married a goy (though because judaism is apparently carried on the X chromosome, this doesn't affect my status at all) and thus I came to be. What little contact I have with my maternal family outside of my grandparents and uncle is mostly resigned acceptance of the fact that I have never and likely will never be religious and attempts to guilt me into going to grad school at ohio state (so that they might pressure me harder to come to synagogue, I imagine). I still am interested in it to an extent, as it is my cultural heritage and that carries some weight for me, but it's very doubtful that I'll ever be practicing.

As a side note, when you say your father married a goy, you should probably say your father married a shiksa or a goya (preferably the former unless you want to insult your mother) as goy is masculine. I don't know if you care at all, but that kind of thing will get you mercilessly teased in certain circles.
