>>7319759
Not OP but we had metallic sodium in small quantities, which only the teachers were ever allowed to handle. We also had various reagents (potassium permanganate, 40° nitric acid, silver nitrate etc... the usual stuff for HS). I'm from France though, so we were divided in three sections in High school (Scientific (S), Economic (ES), Literary(L)) and the chem classes were probably just a little in-depth than what you had in the US because only we (the S) had them.

However they were stored in a closet with a lock, which a 12th grader (Terminale S) once picked and took a few bottles. He then proceeded to fill Pasteur Pipettes with copper sulfate, potassium permanganate and other colorful reagents, which he would randomly spray on things when no one was looking. He was basically the "ghost pooper" type, stealing parts from computers, hiding a stash of slowly decaying fast food in the ceiling of a classroom...

I was friends with him, the best part is no one ever knew it was him except for four people, and he is now studying Electrical Engineering.

The AP test is the exam you are required to take if you want credit for the course. Depending on the score you get (max score is 5), you can take that credit and transfer it to a college of your choice. Some colleges will except a minimum score of 3, some 4, some none at all.
The final I was speaking of is separate from the AP test and is just the typical end of the year final for that course only, under the teacher's discretion. That will only affect high school grade.
