  4. Advanced Placement Defined • A university level freshman course that you take in high school. • There is a national exam at the end of the course. It is the same exam for all students in America. • Score on the exam is 1-5 with 5 being the best. • With a score of 3 or higher you can earn college credit while still in high school • This allows YOU to compete for College Admission with students from all over the country.
