The College Board’s Advanced Placement Program offers students the opportunity to take challenging college-level courses while still in high school, and to receive college credit, advanced placement, or both for successful performance on the AP exams. About 17 percent of the more than 1 million high school students worldwide who took AP exams performed at a sufficiently high level to merit the recognition of AP Scholar. The College Board’s mission is to connect students to college success and opportunity.
