Advanced Placement (AP) classes are a great way for students to earn college credit while still in high school. However, without the proper introduction, the world of AP classes and tests can be overwhelming for even the brightest of students. Luckily, TGES has put together this help guide to answer any and all questions you may have about AP classes!
Courses are typically taken over a year during the students’ 10th, 11th and 12th grade of school – most commonly in the last two years of high school.
The AP examinations are based on the AP course curriculum and are generally three hours in length. Apart from studio art exams, which have portfolio assessments, AP exams contain multiple-choice and writing (free-response) sections. World languages also have a speaking component and the music theory exam has a sight-singing task.
