Benefits of AP Participation

• Stand out in the college admissions process. Universities know that you have what it takes to succeed in an undergraduate environment.
• By taking AP courses and scoring successfully on the related AP exam, students can save on college expenses. Most universities nationwide offer college credit for qualifying AP scores. High AP exam scores can sometimes satisfy more than one college course requirement, saving more money and allowing students to enter higher-level courses sooner.
