I would like to transfer to Earl of March to take AP courses.  \nMy school does not offer the AP exam(s) I wish to take, but I intend to prepare independently. Can I take my AP exam(s) at Earl of March?  \nFurther questions?  \nHow can Advanced Placement courses benefit me?  \nPlease see “What are the advantages?” on our main AP webpage.  \nHow do Advanced Placement courses work at Earl of March?  \nIn Ontario, students follow the Ministry of Education curriculum. At Earl of March, we offer enriched versions of the Ontario curriculum courses to assist students in preparing for AP exams. At the completion of the course, students earn the Ontario course credit. To earn an AP first-year university credit, students may then choose to write a College Board AP examination, the results of which are not related to the student’s Ontario course grade. College Board AP examinations are written in May of each year.  \nWhat is the difference between AP and IB ( International Baccalaureate )?  \nIn essence, AP is a course choice, and students can choose which courses they wish to take in Advanced Placement based on their strengths and interests. IB is a two-year diploma program with specific course requirements across all subjects. The following websites offer discussions that may help with differentiating the two: IB vs AP – University Admissions in Canada & AP vs. IB: A Practical Comparison. For more information about IB at the OCDSB, please see International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme-Ottawa-Carleton District School Board.  \nAre AP courses “marked harder” than regular U courses?  \nNo. Course work and exams are assessed according to the Ontario Curriculum standards in each subject, and College Board AP exam results do not affect the student’s Ontario course grade.  \nDo I have to take the AP exam? What if I take the exam and I don’t dowell?  \nMany students choose the AP stream for the rich classroom experience rather than strictly for the university credit. Students who take AP-stream courses are not obliged to take the College Board AP exam. In all courses, students must take the Earl of March course exam at the end of the term. Students may then choose to write the College Board AP exam in May to earn a university-equivalency credit. Furthermore, AP exam results are disclosed to universities only if the student chooses to send them.  \nDo Canadian universities accept AP credits?  \nYes, and most will accept several credits towards a degree program. The number and type of credits varies by university and program. Most Canadian universities require an AP exam grade of 4 (out of a possible 5) to grant Advanced Standing for required and/or elective courses. The College Board offers a search tool, but unfortunately it is not very good for Canadian universities:  \n[https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/getting-credit-placement/search-policies](https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/getting-credit-placement/search-policies) and [https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/ap-around-the-world](https://apstuden","cbCaipAzc3ZYEVHd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipAzc3ZYEVHd","pdf",122549,"English","# Frequently Asked Questions about AP at Earl of March\n## AP course benefits and structure\n## AP exam requirements and outcomes\n## AP and IB comparison\n## Canadian university credit acceptance\n## Course selection and exam registration","[{\"question\":\"How do Advanced Placement courses work at Earl of March?\",\"answer\":\"Students follow enriched versions of Ontario curriculum courses.
