Advanced Placement (AP) courses are college-level classes taken in high school. Each course finishes with a test that determines if your child will receive college credit, allowing the equivalent course to be waived once in college. AP courses are recognized as difficult courses by colleges. So, in addition to testing out of a college class, doing well in an AP course may increase your child’s chances of getting into college. You’ll also get your money’s worth with an AP course, because it’s probably cheaper for your child to take the course in high school rather than taking the same one in college. AP courses can help your child get ahead of the game in college and may help to win Scholar Awards, which are awarded to children who have demonstrated academic excellence in their AP course(s). Before your child signs up for an AP course, be sure to speak with your son or daughter and the high school counselor to determine if it’s a subject in which your child can succeed.
