Advanced Placement Exam Preparation

Why AP?

The Advanced Placement (AP) program makes college and university courses available for students to take while they’re still in secondary school. This challenging program allows students to:
  • Build university-ready study skills
  • Earn high school and university credits
  • Skip introductory college classes 
  • Distinguish themselves in university and college applications

Research shows that students who succeed in rigorous course work such as Advanced Placement are developing college-level knowledge and skills while still in high school. These students are more likely than their peers to earn college degrees on time, saving money and progressing quicker into future careers.
