AP Calculus: Student Nabs a 5

Not much happened today, just settling into work again and preparing for the lessons and course overviews, textbook, etc.  What a major anti-climax and letdown from the summer bike trip.  However, a former student last year in my AP-Calculus trial class (5 students meeting after school informally) announced that he got a 5 on the AP test which happened last May.  This is great news as the test is on a 5-point scale, and now this student has effectively gotten credit to 1st year calculus courses.  But the thing is, he took the AP Calculus test in Gr 11 and so technically he doesn't have to do any calculus this year, and in university for that matter.  The trial class last year went better than expected, and am eager to see what will happen this year with the official kick-off of the AP Calculus course offered at our school.
