Advanced Placement
High school students across the country and around the world take AP courses and exams to challenge themselves, explore their interests, earn college credit and gain “advanced” placement for course selections. Your AP exam scores can earn college credit before you set foot on a college campus, and perhaps, let you skip introductory college courses. Since 1993, the State Legislature has provided funds to support student achievement and increase both student AP participation and performance with subsidizes for AP exam fees and district reimbursements for a portion of a teacher’s training registration fee through the enactment of the AP/IB Incentive Program.
- Title 19 of the Texas Administrative Code (TAC] §74.29
