AP® Class Vs Exam

By passing the AP® Exam with a score of 3 or higher out of 5, most colleges will award college credit for the course. Studio Art students submit a portfolio rather than an exam, with the portfolio graded on a scale of 6-Excellent to 1-Poor. Passing an AP® exam makes it easier for students to complete their General Education requirements (GEs) for their majors, saving considerable amounts of money on tuition, and allowing students to take more advanced classes sooner in their college career.
