Benefits

Taking AP courses and exams can help students:

  • Stand out on college applications. AP courses on a student's transcript show that they've challenged themselves with the most rigorous courses available to them. Success on an AP Exam shows that they're ready for college-level coursework.
  • Earn college credit and/or skip introductory courses in college. Most four-year colleges and institutions in the United States - as well as many institutions in more than 100 other countries - grant students credit, placement, or both for qualifying AP Exam scores. Search credit policies by college.
