money in college by earning college credit?
Students who participate in AP courses experience the rigors of a college-level course and exam while still in high school. AP students learn to reason, analyze, and understand for themselves, and gain confidence in their potential to attend college and succeed once there. In addition, AP performance helps students stand out in the college admission process; the most important factor in admissions decisions, according to the National Association for College Admission Counseling’s 2006 survey of college admissions officers, is success in the most rigorous high school courses available to the student.
