Advanced Placement
"Are you ready for a unique learning experience that will help
you succeed in college? Through AP's college-level courses and
exams, you can earn college credit and advanced placement, stand
out in the admission process, and learn from some of the most
skilled, dedicated, and inspiring teachers in the world."
Although a lot of
attention is given to the AP Exam, the AP experience really
begins a whole year before then. Here are some checkpoints based
on a traditional school year.
