<p>AP is a college level course that could earn u college credit
what does it test?</p>
<p>Depending on what subject you take… it can be one of the sciences, History , launguages, Geography, Physcology, Calculus, Statistics, Etc…
(for a list of subjects go here <a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools; )</p>
<p>how’s it scored?</p>
<p>the test is usually two parts, a multiple choice part and a free response part, the grades are usually scored then combined to come up with a raw score, then depending on the curve they are converted to a 1-5 Scale
5:Extremly Well Qualified
4:Well qualified
3:quilified
2: possibly qualified
1:not qualififed</p>
<p>depending on the college, if u score High on the AP exam u might be able to skip an introductory course, gain credits, or both
what colleges request it?</p>
<p>i dont think any colleges request it (correct me if i am wrong)</p>
<p>thanks xylem101,</p>

<p>is it only in the US or can i take it if i live outside the USA?</p>
