ADVANCED PLACEMENT
1. How does the Advanced Placement Program work? Advanced Placement or AP is a program offered by The College Board. The term AP can refer to the courses you take in high school or it can refer to the actual tests you take. Students normally take AP courses in school by following a set curriculum in grades 10-12. Students then take AP tests at the end of the senior year. Score reports are sent out to the addresses or colleges that you provide. Those colleges decide whether or not students receive college credit. The college will let you know. 2. What if my school doesn’t offer AP courses? Am I out of luck? Not if you’re a great student! You can actually take an AP test on your own. You just have to study hard and find out as much as you can about the test format. You can earn college credit on your own if you really have the ambition and drive! 3.
