The Advanced Placement (AP) program is directed by College Board[1], and used in most American high schools.

There are currently 37 AP exams. After a student completes a course, he may take the AP exam in that subject. The AP exams are typically offered on specific dates in the month of May. High schools usually weight a student's grade in an AP class on a 6-point scale instead of the normal 4-point scale or 5-point Honors scale. The AP exams are graded on a 5-point scale. Most Colleges and Universities will offer college credit for exam scores of 3 or higher, depending on admission policy.
