AP Information A 2008 study found that AP students had better four-year graduation rates than those who did not take AP More than 3,200 colleges and universities in the United States offer credit and/or advanced placement for qualifying AP scores Students who take longer to graduate from a public college or university typically pay between $8,000 and $19,000 for each additional year. Taking AP increases eligibility for scholarships and makes candidates more attractive to colleges.

AP Commitment You have to commit to the AP class for the whole academic year. However, if you receive a D or lower, the teacher can recommend that you move to the lower level. It is important to keep your grades up. You need a C or better in all of your academic classes to fulfill A-G university requirements.
