Advanced Placement

• What does AP mean?

– AP courses are rigorous, college-level

classes in a variety of subjects that give

students an opportunity to gain the skills

and experience colleges recognize.

Advanced Placement

Myths

• AP courses are

for students who

always get good

grades.

• AP courses are

too stressful.

Reality

• AP courses are for any student

who is academically prepared

and motivated to take on

college-level courses

• It's no secret that AP courses

are challenging. But in

collaborative classrooms and

for subjects you care about, the

support you receive from your

classmates and teachers can

help ease your worries, once

you know you’re committed

and willing to do the work.

AP Pathway

• Pre-AP classes are the “springboard”

into AP courses

• 9th grade is the safest time to take a

Pre-AP course.

• Colleges look for rigorous coursework

first, then ACT, then GPA

• You don’t have to take Pre-AP/AP to go

to college, but it is helpful.
