The Advanced Placement (AP) Program provides college-level courses and exams that students can complete while still in high school. Successfully passing AP exams demonstrates that you have acquired university-level knowledge and skills before graduating from high school. AP exam scores are widely accepted by universities worldwide as a reliable indicator of academic excellence. Most universities in the United States, along with many in Canada, grant college credit or advanced placement for AP scores of 3 or above. Each year, AP enables thousands of high school students to make significant progress toward their higher education goals.
