What to Expect in an AP Course

AP courses require a great deal of self-discipline, research and independent study skills, the ability to work in self-motivated learning groups, group study hours beyond the classroom, and in some cases, two to three hours of homework a night for a single AP course.  The demands of an AP course stretch a student’s academic and intellectual ability.  An AP student must also demonstrate a high motivational level and possess the maturity necessary to successfully complete an AP course and pass the exam.  Student who enroll in more than one AP course in their schedule should expect the possibility of three to six hours of homework to address the demands of all their classes on a particular evening.  A combination of AP and Honors courses can prove to be rigorous, especially if the student participates in extra-curricular activities such as athletics and/or band, theater, or other available programs.  

Benefits of AP Courses

A student may receive college credit or advanced placement for an AP course: if the student scores a three (3) or higher on the AP exam given at the end of the year, and/or if the college accepts the scores and assigns college credit.  Clark County School District has the expectation that any student enrolled in an AP class will be taking the AP exam per CCSD Regulation 5127.
