AP: Advanced Placement Program
The AP Program offers college-level courses and exams that students can take while in high school. With qualifying AP Exam scores, students can earn credit, advanced placement, or both.
- The College Board's Advanced Placement Program is recognized by universities around the world as a standard of academic excellence.
- Launched in 1955, it was originally designed to allow students in the U.S. to earn college credit and/or advanced placement for university-level learning while in secondary school. Today, 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 4,000 universities in over 100 countries (including the U.K., Canada, Singapore, and those in the Middle East), consider AP participation favorably for admission and have clear policies regarding AP credit and placement.
AP Exams are administered once a year, during the first two weeks of May. Students are strongly encouraged to register during the first window (September to November of the academic year prior to the exam) to allow ample time for preparation.
