The Advanced Placement Program, sponsored by the College Board, is a program of college-level courses and examinations thatprovides high school students with an opportunity to earn advanced placement, college credit, or both while still in secondary school. The AP Program offers students a challenging study of subjects in greater depth, accelerated learning opportunities, a sense of accomplishment, strength in a college application, development of college-level study, analytical skills, and a head start for college credit.
Advanced Placement examinations are given in May. More than 3,000 U.S. colleges and universities accept AP grades. While eachcollege decides which AP Exam grades it will accept for credit and/or advanced placement, generally, institutions accept scores of 3and above to award credit for an equivalent course.
