Advanced Placement (AP) classes
AP classes are very rigorous and utilize a standard curriculum which is considered college level work. Students in these classes are strongly encouraged to take the AP exam at the end of the year, and may receive college credit depending on their score and college choice. AP scores range from 1-5. Colleges grant varied levels of credit depending on the score. Usually, scores of 3 or better are granted credit. Colleges look favorably on admitting students who have challenged themselves with the rigor of AP classes. There is also a strong correlation between the number of AP classes a student takes in high school and their success in college. AP exams are administered by College Board and information about them is available on the College Board website at www.collegeboard.com.
