Advanced Placement Exams  (AP Exams)

What are AP Exams?

AP (Advanced Placement) exams are given in May of each academic year.  For most they are the final step after a year of hard work in an AP course.  The AP exam measures content and skills specific to particular courses of study.

Why take an AP Exam?

Taking an AP exam demonstrates to a college/university that you were serious about your study in your advanced placement classes.  Many colleges/universities use AP scores to determine course placement.  Most also use the scores to determine eligibility for college credit.  Determination as to which scores earn credit or advanced placement is solely up to the college/university.
