My school does not offer an AP World History class. However, I currently am maintaing an A+ average with little effort in my non-AP WHist. class. History is a subject I am extremely passionate about, and I believe I am rather versed in it. Despite not taking the class, would I still be able to take the test? If I can, should I? How much of a disadvantage would I be at?

I don't want to drop the course- I can't. I just want to know if I could take the test anyway.

From my current high school experience I can say that there's very little chance that you could take the AP test if you're not signed up in an AP class.
From my understanding as long as you don't drop a class you can't change your course's levels for that year after somewhere around the end of the first marking period (update: you can't attend one level's course's classes and then take another level's test/exam). But check with whoever in your school does the schedules and see if there's anything you can do because there may be some state-dependent laws that I'm not aware of that may change by state.

If you sign up for it, yes. Just be sure to sign up early, the spaces may already be filled by students in an AP class. You may want to see if there are study guides or anything for that test. But if you feel up to it, go for it!
