Advanced Placement Exams

Over the next two weeks, our students enrolled in Advanced Placement (AP) courses will be taking exams. Please be sure your student arrives to the school on time so that they can be ready for testing.

Students must take the AP Exam in the class content area to get the “weighted grade.” Students may score 1-5 on the AP Exams. In order to receive college credit, students must earn the required score as mandated by the college of their choice, usually 3, 4, or 5. A score of a 3 on an AP test will get you college credit in state universities in Arkansas.
