The College Board's Advanced

Placement Program offers students the opportunity to take challenging

college-level coursework while still in high school, and to receive college

credit, advanced placement or both for the successful performance on the

AP exams. Students took AP exams in May after completing challenging college-level

courses at their high schools. The College Board recognizes several levels

of achievement based on the number of yearlong courses and exams, or their

equivalent semester-long courses and exams.
