Advanced Placement

The Advanced Placement program is directed by College Board, and used in most American high schools. There are currently 35 AP courses, with plans to include two more. After a student completes a course, he may take the AP exam in that subject. The AP exams are typically offered on specific dates in the month of May. High schools usually weight a student's grade in an AP class on a 6-point scale instead of the normal 4-point scale or 5-point Honors scale. The AP exams are graded on a 5-point scale. Most Colleges and Universities will offer college credit for exam scores of 3 or higher, depending on admission policy.
