ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSES (AP)

Advanced Placement (AP) courses are recommended for students who have enjoyed previous courses of the same or similar discipline and/or who are interested in taking an introductory college-level course.  After a year of rigorous college-level instruction and preparations, the expectation is that students will take the corresponding AP EXAM to complete the college-level experience.  Most BHS students take and do very well on the corresponding AP exam.

Regardless, AP exams are not used in calculating your course average and AP courses cannot be taken as a pass/not pass course. In addition to getting college-level course experience by taking an AP EXAM, students performing well on the AP EXAM may earn college-level credit, be exempt from certain college course requirements, and/or be accelerated into the next level of course at the college level.

AP exams are administered in May of each school year.  The final score for each AP Exam is reported on a 5-point scale that offers a recommendation about how qualified you are to receive college credit and placement—but each college makes its own decisions for which scores it will grant credit or placement.

You, the college, or university you designated in “My AP” when registering, and educators in your school and district, including your AP teachers, will automatically receive your scores once they’re released. AP scores are only sent to colleges if you choose to do so.
