Advanced Placement (AP)

The Advanced Placement (AP) Program offers college-level courses and exams that students can take in high school.  AP exams are standardized exams designed to measure how well a student has mastered the content or skill in a specific AP class.  Most AP courses have an end-of-year paper-and-pencil exam.
