As I sat at my desk contemplating what to write about for this week, only one thing came to mind because it has taken over me for the last few weeks. I am talking about AP tests. AP stands for advanced placement and are annual tests that happen in the month of May.

AP classes are college level classes, with the same rigor and assignments, and to test your knowledge on the subject, a test is held on a day in May. Over the year, the course is broken down into units, same as a non-AP class, except the tests and content is made to prepare you for the final test. Since they are college level classes, we are able to get dual credit for the class from specific colleges, which counts as one of your subjects from college and gives you a head start when you attend it.
