  4. Why Take an AP Class? • Earn College Credit and Placement • Most four-year colleges in the United States and colleges in more than 60 other countries give students credit, advanced placement or both on the basis of AP Exam scores. By entering college with AP credits, you'll have the time to move into upper level courses, pursue a double-major or study abroad. • (www.collegeboard.org)

  5. How are AP exams scored • AP scores are determined after we establish score boundaries—the difference between a 2 on the exam and a 3, for example. We do this by defining how many composite score points equal each different AP score. This process is known as score setting and it takes place immediately after the reading. • AP Exam scores are reported on a 5-point scale as follows: 5 Extremely well qualified* 4 Well qualified* 3 Qualified* 2 Possibly qualified** 1 No recommendation** * Qualified to receive college credit or advanced placement ** No recommendation to receive college credit or advanced placement
