What Are advanced placement courses?
Advanced Placement courses allow students to take college-level coursework and earn college credit while in high school. Courses are taught at a high level and culminate with an AP exam at the end of the school year. Students in an AP course are expected to take the corresponding AP exam.
Students who score a 3 or higher (on a scale of 1-5) are eligible to receive college credit. It's up to the attending institution as to how they award credit. Some may require an AP score higher than a 3 to award credit.
Curious how AP credit transfers to various colleges/universities?
