"Why take Advanced Placement exams?"

Every spring, millions of students around the world take their AP Exams─finishing what they started and taking the opportunity to stand out to colleges and scholarship organizations.

Earning college credit or placement while you’re in high school can save you time and money in the future. You can only earn college credit or advanced placement if you complete an AP Exam.

Three out of four AP students enrolled in a four-year college or university start school with some AP credit. This gives you the flexibility to change majors, pursue a second degree, or study abroad. By skipping introductory college classes, you can free up time for courses you’re interested in and have the chance to graduate early.


Most colleges grant credit, advanced placement, or both for qualifying AP Exam scores.

Completing an AP course and exam means you’ll have taken college-level coursework in high school. No matter your score, preparing for and taking your AP Exam sharpens skills you need to transition from high school to college. Research shows that students who take AP courses and exams have better college outcomes than their peers. Whatever your score, taking an AP Exam can keep you on track for college.


• The majority of students who score a 1 or 2 on their first AP Exam are likely to improve their score on a future exam.


• Students who achieve an exam score of 2 do significantly better in introductory college classes.


• Students who achieve exam scores of 1 or 2 are still more likely to attend college and graduate on time (than academically similar students who don’t take AP).


Taking an AP Exam helps you stand out to colleges, universities, and scholarship programs by showing them you’re willing to work hard to complete college-level work.


Unlock even more college and scholarship opportunities by completing your AP Exams and opting in to Student Search Service, which connects you to scholarship programs and colleges across the country. Students who are contacted by colleges through Student Search Service receive, on average, 29% more offers of college admission. Additionally, 85% of selective colleges and universities report that a student’s AP experience favorably impacts admissions decisions.
