What are APs?

Advanced Placement (AP) is a program that offers college-level curriculum and examinations to high school students for them to prove their proficiency in certain subjects before starting college. A student who obtains a high score on their AP exam can be offered placement and course credit. In simpler words- By taking an AP course, you’re conveying to the colleges and universities that you have what it takes to succeed in particular subjects at the undergraduate level.

Indian students who are planning on pursuing their undergraduate studies in Australia, Canada, Singapore, U.K., and the U.S. and other countries are eligible to receive university credit or even be considered during the admission process for the AP Exam scores.

In order to take the AP exam, the student should be less than 21 years of age. Hence, the ideal time to take the exam would be in grade 11or grade 12 or even in grade 10.

After choosing the relevant subjects, a student needs to take the AP exam- a pencil and paper MCQ based exam- and score a minimum of 3/5 to prove a proficiency in the chosen subjects.

Test Fee: The exam fee for the Advanced Placement Program varies between USD 150 - USD 300 or INR 10000 - INR 20000.
Depending on the subject that you have chosen, an AP exam can vary from 90 minutes to 200 minutes.

Why should you take the APs?

Getting an exceptional score on your AP exam can get you a good college credit. You can also get an AP scholar award if you perform exceptionally well in your subject. Getting a 5/5 in your AP exam can boost your college application as it proves that you are more proficient in a subject than 80-90% of the advanced students. Furthermore, getting the boost into more advanced classes can help you work through a major more quickly and let you take more advanced and more interesting courses as a freshman.
