Why should a student elect to take an AP class?

  • Benefits of Taking AP Classes and Exams

    Build Skills and Confidence
    AP courses help students develop time management, study skills, creativity, and problem-solving—essential for college and career success.

    Stand Out to Colleges
    Taking AP courses signals academic commitment. 85% of selective colleges say AP experience positively impacts admissions.

    Succeed in College
    Students scoring 2 or higher on AP Exams are ready for college work. Those scoring 3+ tend to perform better and graduate at higher rates.
    3 in 4 AP students earn college credit before starting their degree.

    Save Time and Money
    AP credit helps students graduate on time, reducing tuition costs. Many colleges offer credit or placement for qualifying AP scores, letting students skip intro courses or meet graduation requirements sooner.

    Global Recognition
    AP is recognized by universities worldwide for admissions and credit, including nearly all U.S. and Canadian schools and institutions in 60+ countries.
