Advanced Placement (AP) program is a cooperative, education endeavor of secondary schools, colleges, and universities. Through AP courses, high school students engage in college-level study. They demonstrate and confirm their mastery of particular subjects through AP exams which are offered annually in May and require a fee. Many colleges in the nation offer credits or class placement for satisfactory performance on The College Board AP Examinations. A student can choose to take an AP Exam without being enrolled in an AP class.
