Must pass the National AP Tests to earn college credit. Your university choice and choice of major determine if and how the credit is used.
AP Advice: Why Take an AP Class? • More knowledge before college • Rigorous (3 trimester) preparation is the most important aspect of AP Courses. • Expect increased reading, writing, and nightly study • If your university awards you credit for your AP Testing results, it is an added bonus. • Students in AP Classes are serious about learning and very competitive academically. • AP Classes look great on college resumes.
