AP(Advanced Placement) is an honorary course in American high schools. In short, AP class allows high school students to study college courses in advance in exchange for college credits. AP exams are held in the first and second weeks of May every year. Around mid-July, AP scores will be sent to students' homes. Whether you can exchange university credits depends on your AP score (minimum 1, maximum 5) and whether the university accepts AP transfer credits.

According to the evaluation of the University Committee:

5 points is very qualified (very in line with the credit requirements),

4 points completely qualified (very qualified)

Three points qualified (qualified)

Two o'clock? Possibly qualified (possibly qualified)

1 min? No recommendation (points are not recommended)

Most universities will accept 5 points, and some will accept 4 points. The score of 3 is very small, and the scores of 2 and 1 are almost zero. Some universities do not offer credits for certain courses. For example, the University of Pennsylvania does not provide credits for courses such as government and politics, music theory, but it does provide credits for courses such as American history and world history. Some universities don't offer credits, but let you skip some simple courses (giving you the opportunity to study some difficult courses).

If there is an ideal institution, you can check in advance whether the ideal institution accepts the selected AP course and consider whether to choose this subject.
