Alternative Options Weren't Mentioned in High School (now I'm a little mad)

Yes, that is what I did. When I talk to the school AP people, they always say "it's school policy". Other homeschoolers near me often do CLEP instead, which is what I have done for 18 credits, but there is one test that is has no similar CLEP: AP music theory, with sightreading, etc. And it is worth 8 credits at my college! Bummer!

The College Board website says to call an AP coordinator. Did you try that and, if you have, did you tell them your are having trouble finding a testing site? It might be time to start talking to higher up people. According to the College Board site, the want to encourage schools to allow homeschoolers to test. Do you have a homeschool community in your area? Even if you aren't a member maybe they could point you in the right direction.
