by high school teachers with additional training and/or certification. AP exams are administered
nationwide in May. Many, but not all, colleges award credit or allow a student to be exempt
from certain college courses if a student scores a 3, 4, or five on the AP exam. Students should
check the AP admission policy for their College of choice prior to registering for an AP course at
Collins hill high school.
