AP Advice: Why Take an AP Class?• More knowledge before college

• Rigorous (3 trimester) preparation is the most important aspect of AP Courses. • Expect increased reading, writing, and nightly study

• If your university awards you credit for your AP Testing results, it is an added bonus.

• Students in AP Classes are serious about learning and very competitive academically.

• AP Classes look great on college resumes.
