Best Answer

AP stands for "advanced placement" and allows high school students to take a college level course through Collegeboard. The tests are on a variety of subjects from Microeconomics to Statistics to US History. In May, students take a test on the subject. At most state universities, a score of three or higher will earn you some form of college credits. This is very helpful if you want to save time and money in college by helping eleminate some General Education classes if you pass the exams.
