AP Exams, or Advanced Placement Exams, are standardized tests administered by the College Board that allow high school students to earn college credit or advanced placement in college courses. These exams cover a variety of subjects, including Mathematics, Science, History, and Languages, and are typically taken in May each year. Students can register for AP courses in high school, which prepare them for the corresponding exams. Scoring well on an AP Exam can lead to college credit, potentially saving students time and money in their higher education journey.
