About AP
AP stands
for "Advanced Placement" and is a widely accepted way of measuring
proficiency in certain classes. To demonstrate their knowledge and
understanding of the topic, each student is required to take a
standardized test in May. The tests are then graded and scored on a
scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best. For

change. As one can see, even a fairly average score of 3 on the AP

students potentially hundreds of dollars in the long run.
