The AP Program, or Advanced Placement Program, is an educational initiative in the United States that offers college-level courses and exams to high school students. It allows students to earn college credit or advanced placement in college courses based on their performance on standardized exams. The program covers a wide range of subjects, including Mathematics, Science, History, and Languages. Established by the College Board, the AP Program aims to enhance students' academic skills and prepare them for higher education. Schools that participate in the program provide rigorous coursework, and students can choose to take AP exams at the end of the academic year. Scoring well on these exams can lead to significant advantages in college admissions and course placement.
