Advanced Placement Defined
A university level freshman course that you take in high school.
There is a national exam at the end of the course. It is the same exam for all students in America.
Score on the exam is 1-5 with 5 being the best.
With a score of 3 or higher you can earn college credit while still in high school
This allows YOU to compete for College Admission with students from all over the country.
