What is AP Testing?

High school students take AP courses and exams to challenge themselves, explore their interests, and earn college credit and placement. The AP Program gives students a taste of college-level work while developing the academic skills needed for success in college. Many students' AP exam scores allow them to earn college credit before ever stepping onto a campus and many are then able to skip introductory college courses.
