What course is ap?

As long as they pass the exam, it is equivalent to missing some courses during their college years.

37 subjects, including biology, calculus, chemistry, economics, psychology, etc. , are equivalent to the difficulty of the first year of college. There are also some language courses, such as French, Spanish and German, which need to be studied in universities for three years and six semesters. If children study ahead of time, they may get credits.
