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 non- mock-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.

4. 4 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.
