The Advanced Placement (AP) tests are standardized, norm-referenced subject matter tests requiring both multiple choice and essay responses. Produced and administered by the College Board each May, AP tests are typically taken by students who have completed a specific AP course in high school. Depending on the score obtained, many colleges and universities grant advanced college credit for the course. The Baltimore County Public Schools continue to expand the availability of AP course sections and subjects in all high schools. Visit www.collegeboard.org or contact a high school counselor for more information.
