How can SPAS students best prepare for college admissions?
Take easy classes to earn a high GPA
High scores on many AP exams
High grades in many AP classes
Answer explanation
Advanced Placement (AP) classes do not include the AP exams. Students must register for AP exams separately. AP course grades are not standardized globally so they are mostly ignored by colleges. Conversely, AP exam scores are standardized globally so they are highly valued by colleges.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Which of the following is true about AP (Advanced Placement)?
More than 30 AP subject exams are available to students.
SPAS offers year-long AP courses for some subjects.
Colleges use AP exam scores to rank applicants globally.
AP exams are only offered once per year.
All answers are correct.
Answer explanation
Advanced Placement (AP) was created by College Board for specific subject-based standardized testing. College Board has been offering standardized exams to high school students since 1901. Currently, 34 AP subject exams are available to students. Colleges use AP exam scores (1-5) to rank applicants globally. Typically, students enroll in a year-long AP course at SPAS, and then separately register for the standardized AP exam for that specific subject. Students may retake an AP exam, but AP exams are only offered once per year, so it is rare for students to retake an AP exam. One AP exam costs about $125 USD.
