Advanced Placement (AP)

AP courses give BLS students the chance to do college-level work in high school — and potentially earn college credit, advanced placement, or both at many colleges and universities. Students who score well on AP Exams can save time and money as they work toward their college degree.

Are you curious if your college will accept your AP Score? Use the College Board tool to see how schools use scores: AP Credit Policy Search.
