Pre-AP/AP

Pre- Advanced Placement and Advanced Placement

Pre-Advanced Placement (Pre-AP) courses cover the same standards as the on-level courses. Pre-AP courses are intended to challenge students with an emphasis on critical thinking and reading comprehension skills, as well as to prepare them for placement and success in high school Pre-AP and Advanced Placement (AP) courses.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT options are college readiness courses.

Pre-Advanced Placement (Pre-AP) courses provide students with the knowledge and skills to succeed in Advanced Placement and/or college courses.
Advanced Placement (AP) courses prepare students for the AP Exam and the academic rigor of college level instruction. AP examinations are given in May on specified dates and times. Results are sent to the high school. Results are also sent to the college(s) of the student’s choice, which may grant college credit. Placement and credit are granted by the institutions in accordance with their own policies. A fee is required for each exam.
Any student may enroll in AP or Pre-AP courses if they have met the prerequisites for the course. Students are encouraged to choose classes with their Endorsement and Program of Study in mind.
Students taking AP classes are encouraged to take the associated AP Exam(s).

Potential to earn college credit!

Find out which colleges accept AP credit.

A college’s AP credit policy will lay out the minimum score to earn credit for a given exam, the amount of credit awarded, and how credits are applied. At some colleges, AP scores transfer directly to credit hours. At others, your exam scores allow you to “place out” of certain course requirements, even if they do not give you actual college credits. For example, Brown University doesn’t accept AP scores for course credit but will allow students to place into upper-level classes with their scores!

You can use the College Board's AP Credit Policy Search, but be sure to confirm the information with each of your prospective colleges since policies can change.
