AP Advice: Why Take an AP Class?
• More knowledge before college
• Rigorous (3 trimester) preparation is the most important aspect
of AP Courses.
• Expect increased reading, writing, and nightly study
• If your university awards you credit for your AP Testing results,
it is an added bonus.
• Students in AP Classes are serious about learning and very
competitive academically.
• AP Classes look great on college resumes.
