*SPP schools participate with all 6 non-mock-exam and all 3 mock-exam sessions, for a total of 9
sessions, unless otherwise indicated in parentheses next to the school's name. Some schools
participate with mock-exam sessions only and/or specific mock-exam or non-mock-exam sessions by
content only. These schools will therefore not be a part of the cluster's other mock-exam and/or nonmock-exam sessions. For example: if a school has "E mock" in parentheses next to its name, then it
means that school participates with mock-exam sessions only and specifically in the English (E)
content area only – this school would therefore not participate with math or science mock-exam
sessions nor participate with any non-mock-exam sessions in any content.
Advanced Placement Defined
 A university level freshman course that you take in
high school.
 There is a national exam at the end of the course. It
is the same exam for all students in America.
 Score on the exam is 1-5 with 5 being the best.
 With a score of 3 or higher you can earn college
credit while still in high school
 This allows YOU to compete for College Admission
with students from all over the country.
