Advanced Placement (AP)
The College Entrance Examination Board, in cooperation with thousands of colleges, has established a program by which students can earn college credit for work done in high school. The Advanced Placement program offers high school students an opportunity to obtain college credit in thirteen different subject areas for work done while in high school. Each May, tests are given in the thirteen areas and students are given credit by colleges based on their scores on these exams. Some colleges will advance a high school graduate to the sophomore level immediately, because of their performance in the Advancement Placement exams. Students can thus save time, and therefore costs, in their college program, or at least open up their college schedules to allow greater flexibility.Â
