Advanced Placement Examinations

In the next two weeks, 133 students will write AP exams in 15 different subject areas—a total of 224 exams! These university level exams, which are administered by the College Board in the US, will represent 100 percent of the students' final marks, and signify the culmination of a great deal of time and effort by the students and teachers involved. The exams are graded on a scale out of 5, and some students can use their results at university next year to gain credit for first year courses, allowing them to advance into higher level classes. With a total of 224 exams being written, it will be a busy two weeks for some and we wish them the best of luck.
