The presence of AP courses is a sign that a student has chosen to challenge him/herself.”  \n—Admission Officer  \nAP courses demand more of students than regular honors courses. They are fast-paced and cover more material than an  \naverage high school class.  \nAP teachers expect their students to think  \ncritically, analyze and synthesize facts and data, weigh  \ncompeting perspectives, and write clearly and  \npersuasively.  \nAP courses can be challenging, but it’s work that pays off.  \nAP courses are often the most interesting and fulfilling courses a student takes in high school.  \nAP courses prepare students for college and give students an idea of the rigor of college courses.  \nStudents develop confidence and learn the study habits and time management skills essential for success in college.  \nBenefits of Advanced Placement Classes  \n• Exams are administered by schools worldwide on set dates each May  \n• Exams usually last around three hours.  \n• Each AP Exam contains:  \nMultiple-choice questions  \nFree-response questions (essay, problem-solving, oral response)  \nAP Testing  \nAdvanced Placement  \nGrading  \nThe AP grade scale ranges from 1 to 5:  \nGrade Meaning  \n5 Extremely well qualified  \n4 Well qualified  \n3 Qualified  \n2 Possibly qualified  \n1 No recommendation  \n•Estimated Exam Cost for May 2023  \n•Free for Houston County students  \n•Parents Pay-$97  \n•Fee reductions for free and reduced lunch students  Advanced Placement Exam Coverage  \nThings to consider…  \n• Deciding on which and how many AP courses a student should take is a team effort that includes students, parents, and teachers.  \n• AP classes are yearlong commitments.  \n• Data such as class grades and PSAT scores can be a great indicator of potential success but are not the only factors to consider.  \n• Motivation, time management, and determination are factors that while hard to measure, can drastically affect success in AP classes as well as college.  \nAP students who earn scores of a 1 or 2 have significantly stronger college outcomes than  \ncollege students who did not take an AP course and exam.  \nThings to consider…  \nCollege Credit in High School  \n• AP Classes  \n• Taught by high school teachers within the regular school day  \n• Students receive 5 rigor points resulting in a maximum grade of 105  \n• Students are required to make a yearlong commitment to the course  \n• College credit is awarded upon making a qualifying score on an AP Exam  \n• Dual Enrollment (DE)  \n• Taught on college campuses or online. Some of these classes may be offered at PHS.  \n• Students are released from high school 2 periods for each college class and required to make a yearlong commitment to attending classes for those release periods (minimum 2 college classes– 1 per semester)  \n• Students are responsible for admissions, transportation and all communication with faculty during enrollment  \n• Course grades do not exceed 100  \n• Withdrawing from a college course could result in a Z code on the transcript  \n• College credit is awarded upon successful completion of the course  \n• Registration completed outside of Evening Advisement  \n• Exempt for EOC if applicable  \nStudents may be enrolled in both AP and Dual Enrollment courses provided course offerings at both schools can be coordinated  \nM","cbCaiekYQZXJN2YH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiekYQZXJN2YH","pdf",1302497,31,"English","# What are AP Classes?\n## Why AP?\n## Benefits of Advanced Placement Classes\n## AP Testing\n## Advanced Placement Grading\n## Estimated Exam Cost for May 2023\n## Advanced Placement Exam Coverage\n## Things to consider…\n## College Credit in High School\n## AP Classes and Dual Enrollment","[{\"question\":\"What are AP classes and how do students earn college credit?\",\"answer\":\"AP courses are college-level classes offered in high school, aligned with top introductory college coursework.
