6. Benefits OF TAKING ap CLASSES
Stand out in college admissions - colleges know AP classes are rigorous preparation for upper level classes.
Build college skills - AP classes give you a rigorous challenge, improve your time management skills, and prepare you for the college experience.
Skip introductory classes - AP allows you to move into upper-level courses so you can focus on what interests you most.
Earn college credits while in high school - save on tuition, open up space in your schedule to travel abroad or earn a second major.

7. Challenges OF TAKING ap CLASSES
Time commitment - AP classes will require you to invest more time for homework, research, and studying.
Cost - The AP tests cost $94 each. We do have funds to help reduce the costs, so do not let this be a barrier to registration.
College credit not guaranteed - earning the college credit requires you to take the AP test in May and earn a 3, 4, or 5 on the exam. In order to be successful, you must commit to test preparation.

8. AP potential letters
Based on your PSAT scores, the College Board (creators of AP) analyzed results to predict AP classes that might be of interest to you.
If you received a letter today, please use this as another piece of information in your decision process for registration.
Please know, the PSAT is just one assessment. If you did not receive a letter or a class is not listed on the letter you received, it does not mean you shouldn’t consider taking AP classes. The decision is yours and if you want to accept the challenge, we want you to take the class!

9. Only available to 11th and 12th grade students
RUNNING START
