Advanced Placement Exams

In the last two weeks, 131 students wrote AP exams in 17 different subject areas—a total of 247 exams! These university level exams, which are administered by the College Board in the US, will represent 100 per cent of the students' final marks, and represent the culmination of a great deal of time and effort by the students and teachers involved. The exams are graded on a scale out of 5, and some students can use their results at university next year to gain credit for first year courses, allowing them to advance into higher level classes.
