AP: Advanced Placement Program Exams
The AP Program offers college-level courses and exams you can take in high school. With qualifying AP Exam scores, students can earn credit and/or advanced placement or both.
- College Board's Advanced Placement Program is recognized by universities around the world as a standard of academic excellence.
- Launched in 1955, originally designed as a means for students in the U.S. to earn college credit and/or advanced placement for learning university-level material while in secondary school. Today, secondary students worldwide can complete university-level coursework in 40 subjects and demonstrate proficiency by taking standardized end-of-course AP Exams.
Nearly all colleges and universities in the United States and more than 4000 universities in 100 countries, (such as the U.K., Canada, Singapore, the Middle East, etc.), consider AP participation favourably for admission and have policies around AP credit and placement.
AP Exams are administered once every year during the first two weeks of May.
Students are strongly encouraged to register during the first window, between September and November (prior to the testing year), to ensure they have ample time to prepare.
