Ap EXams

What it is:

AP (Advanced Placement) Exams are standardized tests taken after completing an AP course. A program run by the College Board, the makers of the SAT, the AP classes allow for students to earn college credits while in high school and place in more advanced courses once in college. The earning of college credits is based upon passing the course’s AP Exam. There are currently 38 AP Courses/Exams available. The complete list of subjects can be found here.

The tests are scored on a scale from 1 to 5, with scores of 3 through 5 counting as passing scores.

When to take it:

AP Exams usually take place in the first 2 weeks of May. There is a set schedule of test times for each subject. The complete schedule can be found on here.

How we approach prep:

We take a very individualized approach when it comes to AP Exam prep. No two students prep for these tests in the exact same way and our tutors are ready to help evaluate and put together a customized study plan to optimize a student’s test day success. Our tutors are subject matter experts in the test subjects and remain up to date on any and all changes to the tests. Whether you need help fully preparing for a test or just need a “study buddy” who is able to provide extra guidance, our tutors have you covered.

Please contact us for your free evaluation! Our office staff is available to answer any test or preparation related questions and provide you with professional recommendations.
