Advanced Placement at SHS
Advanced Placement at SHS
Sunnyvale High School is excited to continue to add to our Advanced Placement course offerings. Advance Placement (AP) courses were created by College Board, an US non-profit organization that connects high school students to colleges and universities and assists in their preparation for higher education. AP courses are high school courses taught by high school teachers with special training. These classes are designed to be taught at a rigor similar to college level courses that will build your academic experience while providing you with the comfort of a familiar environment.
At the end of the school year, AP students have the option to sit for that course’s AP exam. The exams are scored on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the highest grade you can earn. In order to earn full college credit for the course, a student must score at least a 3 or higher on the exam. Many colleges and universities vary requirements and recognize different courses, with some asking for a minimum of a 4 on a given exam. The exams cover an overview of all the material taught throughout the course of the year, just as a final college-level exam would at the end of a semester.
