Advance Placement Exam
The Advanced Placement® program enables students to pursue college-level studies while still in high school. Through more than 30 courses, the AP program provides willing and academically prepared students with the opportunity to earn college credit and/or advanced placement, each culminating in a rigorous exam. AP Exams are an essential part of the AP experience, enabling students to demonstrate their mastery of college-level course work. Taking AP courses also demonstrates to college admission officers that students have sought out the most rigorous coursework available to them. Performing well on an AP Exam means more than just the successful completion of a course; it is a gateway to success in college. For more information, please visit CCSD: College & Career Readiness.

Reminders for Parents/Guardians of AP Students
If your child is taking an AP® course, they have more free support than ever to help them learn throughout the year and prepare for their AP Exams. AP gives them the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both.
To help your child stay on track:
•Make sure your child uses the join code your AP teacher gives them to join their class section. This will give them access to AP Classroom where they can practice their skills, receive feedback on their progress, and see real AP Exam questions.
•AP Daily videos, on-demand lessons led by AP teachers from across the country, are available in AP Classroom. Along with other free resources, they provide daily support for students. Students can watch them at their own pace on a mobile device or a computer with internet access.
•Encourage your child to register for their AP Exams in the fall so they have the chance to stand out to college admissions officers and save money on tuition with a qualifying score of 3 or more.
For assistance with any AP questions, please contact our AP coordinator, Mrs. Shay at shayyc@nv.ccsd.net
