The AP tests are college-level exams on specific subjects such as Math, History, Science, and English. The tests are nationwide and are all taken in May upon the completion of the course. At many colleges, a high enough score on the test will earn a student college credit. AP courses can be extremely helpful in many students’ paths to college.

AP tests are designed to see how well students understand the material and skills of a specific AP course. There are many benefits to taking an AP course. Successfully passing an AP course can help students earn college credit early, as said before. Another thing is that the course would most likely only be one semester in college but for the AP curriculum, it would almost be two semesters. By taking an AP class high school students can bypass standard intro courses in college.
