AP college level courses and exams help students earn college credit and stand out in the admissions process. The AP exams give students who demonstrate exemplary skill in a particular subject area an opportunity to challenge themselves further.  AP classes provide material that goes beyond the scope of a typical high school class in each particular discipline. These exams are given in the middle of May.
