2001 Advanced Placement Report

January 1, 2001 - The Advanced Placement (AP) Program, operated by The College Board, is a nationally recognized series of rigorous courses with examinations administered by the Educational Testing Service. Currently The College Board offers 34 college-level courses for high school students in 19 subject areas ranging from Economics and English to Computer Science and Calculus (Appendix I). AP coursework is generally offered in the 11th and 12th grades of high school. At the conclusion of the coursework, students may elect to take the AP examination, although students are eligible to take the exam without participating in the related AP coursework. A student who successfully completes the exam (scoring three or more of a possible five points) may qualify for, at an individual college’s discretion, credit and/or placement out of relevant introductory courses.
