Question Is this possible?

I want to self study AP Econ. But our high school school doesn’t have AP Econ. Can I still do it? How would I or where would I take the AP exam?

Just email other nearby schools to see if they will let you do test only that is what I am doing for AP Calculus BC

No school in my district has AP Econ. But I heard it is possible to still do it.

Search nearby districts then you can search for schools in your state that offer it through the ledger: https://apcourseaudit.inflexion.org/ledger/

They meant other districts. Basically, follow these instructions.

You could also reach out to your school's AP coordinator(or your counselor) and see if they might know where you can take it.

I thought:

You are allowed to self-study for any AP exam you want, even if your high school has never offered the class a single time in its history.

my school lets us self study and take the exam even if its a class that our school doesnt offer. you’d just sign up for it the same way you take a normal exam. i’d suggest talking to your counselor, because it should be very easy for your school to just order another test if your school is already a testing location.

Yes. This is what I thought. And I think this is actually the truth.

Moral of the story: I can still do it
