The Advanced Placement Program (AP) is a challenging academic program designed to provide students with college-level academic courses.
What is AP?
Confidence — Develop better study habits, improve your writing skills and sharpen your problem-solving abilities — this will give you the confidence to tackle the academic challenges that you can expect in college.
Credit — Entering college with AP credits gives you time to move into upper-level courses in your field of interest, pursue a double major, or study/travel abroad.
College Success — Research consistently shows that students who are successful in AP typically experience greater academic success in college than similar students who do not participate in AP.
Why AP?
Your AP Exam score is a weighted combination of your scores on the multiple-choice section and on the free-response section. Although colleges and universities are responsible for setting their own credit and placement policies, AP scores offer a recommendation on how qualified students are to receive college credit and placement. The final score is reported on a 5-point scale:5 = extremely well qualified4 = well qualified3 = qualified2 = possibly qualified1 = no recommendation
