Benefits for All Students
Taking AP® courses and exams helps students build the skills and confidence to get ahead in high school, college, and career.
- College Attendance and Graduation: Students who take AP are more likely to attend college and graduate on time than students who don’t take AP—regardless of their exam score.
- Cost Savings: In 2023, U.S. students earned over 3 million qualifying AP Exam scores. That’s a potential savings of over $3.4 billion in tuition and fees for students and families.
