Advanced Placement (AP) Test Prep

Getting a Head Start for College with Test Prep Help

TEST PREP HELP FOR THE
ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) Exams

The college admissions process has become increasingly competitive and students are looking for ways to distinguish themselves from the millions of other students applying to college each year. One way that your child can stand out is to take one or more Advanced Placement (AP) Exams. AP exams offer several benefits to students preparing for college. When you can tell admissions officers that you are taking an AP course, they know you are taking the most rigorous classes your school has to offer. Students can select from 37 college-level courses, ranging from subjects such as science and math to composition and literature, each of which culminates in taking the AP Exam.

Taking an AP course and earning a qualifying score on the AP Exam expands your options: you can eliminate a required college course or begin taking upper-level college classes. You can also save on college expenses, since most colleges offer college credit for qualifying AP Exam scores.
