What is AP?

Advanced Placement (AP) courses are college-level classes that challenge students and help them stand out in the college admissions process. Each AP course culminates in a standardized exam, and scoring high on these exams can earn you college credit and advanced placement in college courses! AP exams are administered annually by the College Board, the same organization behind the SAT and TOEFL. AP exams typically take place in early May.
