Taking Advanced Placement (AP) courses in high school has grown in popularity in the last several years. These courses provide a wonderful opportunity for students to earn college course credit hours before going to college and possibly to begin with advanced standing at most of our country’s colleges and universities. There are actually 37 AP courses across 22 different subject areas which a student can take! In order to take AP courses, it is important that the student has a strong curiosity about the AP subject and he or she is willing and committed to working hard.
In order for students to make a maximum score on the national test, it is important that they prepare properly. Each spring, Total Learning Concepts offers 6-hour preparation classes during the weekend prior to the tests to make sure students are ready.
AP exam grades 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 received college credit or advanced placement
