EHS Advanced Placement®

The Advanced Placement (AP) Program is an opportunity for high school students to pursue and receive credit for college-level course work while in high school. The AP Program, sponsored by the College Board, is based on the premise that college-level material can be taught successfully to able and well-prepared secondary school students.

Eagan offers 19 exams that students may take.

Advanced Placement (AP) tests are administered in May. A qualifying score on any AP test may enable a student to receive college credit, meet prerequisite requirements or both, depending on the college or university.

AP Exam Registration begin at the end of September and is completed by the middle of October.

Why Take the Optional Advanced Placement Exams?

Most colleges will award credits for the subject area and waive requirements, depending on the exam score received. AP scores range from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest score. See online at https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/getting-credit-placement for specific college thresholds for AP credit.
College admissions counselors and financial aid officers like to see AP exam scores. Even a low score indicates your willingness to seek out challenge; however, you will have the option to cancel your score at any time, even after you receive the score.
Students are recognized as AP Scholar, AP Scholar with Honor, AP Scholar with Distinction, or National AP Scholar each year – another admissions plus.
