When taking AP classes, students complete AP exams in May of each school year. AP exams cover all course content described within an AP course syllabus. AP exams are scored between 1 and 5, with anything 3 or higher considered a passing score. All AP classes are college level courses designed to help students prepare for the AP exams. Taking an AP course and passing the test is a sign that a student is capable of handling college-level work, which strengthens a student’s college applications.
