  • Advanced Placement Exams

    Earn college credits --by taking an Advanced Placement course and scoring successfully on the related Advanced Placement exam, you can save on college expenses: most colleges and universities nationwide offer college credit, advanced placement, or both, for qualifying AP exams scores. These credits can allow students to save on college tuition, study abroad, or secure a second major. AP can transform what once seemed unattainable into something within reach.
