Students enrolled in the AP classes are expected to take the AP exams in May. Colleges award credit based on a five-point scale, each college has its own policy on giving credit.
Every examination receives an overall grade on a five-point scale:
5 - Extremely Well Qualified
4 - Well Qualified
3 - Qualified
2 - Possibly Qualified
1 - No Recommendation
Scoring 3, 4 or 5 on an exam is considered an "honor grade." Colleges typically place greater emphasis on AP exam results that have earned honor grades. In addition, the College Board has an AP Scholar recognition program that honors those students who meet defined standards on AP exams.
