The Advanced Placement (AP) Program enables willing and academically prepared students to pursue college-level studies while still in high school. Each AP course is developed by the AP Program and modeled on a comparable introductory college course in the subject. Each course culminates in a standardized college-level assessment, or AP Exam, in May.

Some potential benefits of taking AP courses and exams:

• Stand out on college applications. AP courses on a student’s transcript shows that they’ve challenged themselves with the most rigorous courses available to them. And success on an AP Exam shows that they’re ready for college-level coursework.

• Earn college credit and/or skip introductory courses in college. Most four-year colleges and universities in the United States—as well as many institutions in more than 100 other countries—grant students credit, placement, or both for qualifying AP Exam scores.
