WHY TAKE AP CLASSES? The #1 reason for taking AP classes is Be challenged. Advanced Placement classes are rigorous and demanding, offering an intellectual stimulation that students won't get in regular high school courses.

WHY TAKE AP EXAMS? It’s possible for you to earn college credit, since 90% of the colleges in the United States offer credit for qualifying scores. You could receive an AP Scholar Award. These are awarded to students who score a 3 or higher on three or more AP exams and are great to add to your college admission application. It could help you determine how well prepared you are for college. If you score a 3 or higher on an AP exam then you should enter similar college-level courses with a certain confidence you otherwise may not have. It enhances your college-readiness skills.
