About the Advanced Placement (AP) Program

AP gives students the chance to tackle college-level work while they’re still in high school. And through taking AP classes, students can earn college credits and placement.

By passing your AP exams with a score of 3, 4, or 5 you could earn college credit, placement, or both at thousands of colleges and universities in the United States and around the world, enabling you to move into upper-level courses in your field of interest, or pursue a double major, or gain time to study or travel abroad.
