AP classes can help you earn college credit and demonstrate that you are serious about your continuing education
AP classes are higher-level classes in various subjects that allow high school students to earn college credits and prepare for the AP exams, which are graded on a scale of 1 to 5. AP classes show colleges that students can handle the academic rigor of college-level courses and strengthen students' college applications. AP classes also teach students skills like writing, critical thinking, and problem-solving1-3.
Taking an AP class (or several!) is a great way to challenge yourself academically and show colleges that you're serious about your education. An AP class on your transcript signals stronger academic training, especially with high passing scores of 4 and 5 on the test4-6. And, even if colleges don’t accept AP credits, AP exam scores of 4 or 5 can help with placement into advanced college courses.
My son has a chronic illness that often forces him to be absent from school. Luis began tutoring my son when he was in his second semester and had begun to fall behind in his Algebra I course. Unlike tutors we'd had before who could barely communicate in English, Luis excels at explaining math with clarity. My son also really liked Luis because he is so funny, kind and enthusiastic. My son not only did well in the class, but he also understood key concepts in math. We are so grateful for Luis's help.
