ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) COURSES are college-level courses available to KPHS students. These courses provide a rigorous learning environment that will prepare students to be successful on the AP examinations. Exams are offered in May; students enrolled in AP level courses are required to take the exam. The exams are administered in May in schools throughout the country. The examinations are graded on a five-point scale: 5=extremely well qualified, 4=well qualified, 3=qualified, 2=possibly qualified or 1=no recommendation. In July the scores are sent to the students, their designated college(s), and their high schools. High achievement in these courses and on the exam may result in college credit, placement in upper level college courses, or both.
